i bought it from duked on my IRC server (Lineman Duke on here) and it came in today. it's missing the hard drive cover, but thats just aesthetics. i'll take care of it in due time.

unfortunately, after a few hours something bad happened to the video RAM. now it looks like this:

it is just the card for sure though. it works fine with a VGA card or my herc CGA clone, but of course neither of those have connectors for the internal monitor. i just ordered a new one w/ warranty for $20, so i'll have it back up and running right soon with any luck.
it's a really really cool machine. a far cry from my osborne 1
