    Anyone still interested in this?

    I've got a whole model DC-2011E computer, connectors and all. Stopped in here trying to figure out if it was worth taking with me, and it looked like there was interest, or at least there was 5 years ago.



    No keyboard, monitor, or manual, but I'm hoping those are less important bits :P

    Cheesehead, If you have the Leading edge parts - give me a shout - I would be interested in them.

    armygreywolf - if you still have the wildcard88 and leading edge Mobo and stuff - I would be interested in it. If you could give me a shout - I would REALLY appreciate it. I collect Leading edge machines and would like the opportunity to add that to the collection. I can't for some reason send private messages on here. If you could email me at Nitrousconnection@yahoo - Thanks.

The coprocessor is a Intel C8087-4 and they are quite rare to get them in a 16 bit interface the wildcard 88 uses. Its part of my mantra to check ebay and the vintage forums to find one.

    BUT, in addition to this recently I also got a non working intel pentium pro OVERDRIVE socket overlay. This was a stop gap for people who spent 10-12 gand on the machines while intel fielded pentium II (300+ percent improvement). It amounts to a pentium ii on a slower bus.
    I have one of these wildcard88 that I aquired.... where do I get my $46k lol
