PAiA 8700 Computer/Keyboard & QUAsH

PAiA 8700 Computer/Keyboard & QUAsH

2004-02-02 by kyhotay

I have an 8700 Computer/Keyboard Controller. I do not know if it 
works or not. It is highly modified: each DRAM chip has been piggy-
backed with another DRAM. There appers to be another circuit added
that could possibly be a RAM bank selector. I ran it by Scott Lee and
he had no idea what the person was attempting here so I don't
recommend this to the faint of heart or technically impaired. It is
a great source of spare parts if you have the 8700 computer since
most of those chips are long discontinued. It also might be a fun
project if you like this sort of stuff. 

I would like to sell it for $50 plus the cost of shipping.

I also have a QUAsH unit that has not been teted for $35 + freight.

Thanks!

Now, where did I put that first edition John Simonton's Pink Tunes 
article....
