Looking for an old IBM 8086 (puter)

[pfyon]

Sucks. My parents had a fully working old 8086 that they junked last year... after which they brought me a hard drive from it and asked if I could recover anything off of it.

Not that I have anything to give you now, but I thought I'd tell you of the horrible timing for this kind of thing.

They brought it to a place here that does computer recycling, so you might check out places that do that near you and see if they have any you can take off their hands.

There's a bunch of stuff on ebay. dunno what your budget is, but that or craigslist is where i'd start.

Ya, I have been keeping an eye on ebay and various used ad sites, money is
not a problem though.

I had thought about that before, but we don't have any place that does that
around here. Most just give their old boxes away or haul them to junkyard.
I'll keep searching though. Thanks
