I have the following 68000-based computer for sale:

It's called PT68K-2, made by Periperhal Technology of Marietta, Ga.  It was
the subject of a series of articles in Radio-Electronics starting in October
1987.  I bought the motherboard assembled and tested.

		12 MHz 68000 CPU
		1 MB RAM
		4 RS232 serial (68681 DUART)
		1 5.25" 80-track floppy and controller
		20 Meg Ampex hard drive and controller
		XT style keyboard
		Paper-white monochrome monitor
		6 IBM-compatible 8-bit bus slots (4 free)
		Real-time clock (on-board battery)
		HUMBUG monitor program in ROM
		Native OS is SK*DOS, from Star K software. Includes:
			MS-DOS disk read/write, and numerous other utils
			"Small C" compiler
		Documentation, including xerox copies of the entire
			series of R-E articles describing the design
			and construction of the motherboard.

I am running Minix on this box now.  I've got the whole hard disk
partitioned for Minix, and the OS is installed on it.  The bus slots are
reputed to be compatible with any 8-bit I/O-type card that will run in an
IBM compatible.  I haven't tested this reputation, except with the video
and hard drive controller cards, which work just fine.

I wanted to hack this box, and Minix, until I discovered that I'm not a
hacker after all :^).  I'd be happy to answer any questions that I can about
it over email, or provide a live demo.  I'm looking for $1000, but I am
willing to bargain.  You can call and leave a message anytime of day at
(415)604-4325.  Thanks.
