Wow, $400 for an Issac... and a rev 7 too. This should possibly be in the laughable thread.

I have 3 or 4 of them, with some software and manuals. I've been considering selling or trading them off.

sfahey,
What do you do with them? Laboratory data recording? Do you use them with the Verneir sensors? What are the foci of the software?

Sean,

I thought about it, but I was not quite sure.
That is why I posted it in a separate thread.
It is interesting and scarce enough, and I would think close to the ballpark in price.
In your opinion, what should one of these go for?

I do know that this is only the second unit that I have seen like this.
I do not remember what the last unit sold for.

Right now, I'm not doing anything with them. I was (at one time) interested in discovering how the internal cards were addressed, and trying to determine if additional slot capability for the Apple II could be achieved akin to the Mountain Hardware chassis.

Too much stuff, not enough time. I've not gotten around to doing it.

You know... I'm thinking I should keep my big fat mouth shut and wait to see if this sells... and then maybe sell mine. Smile

Ya'know, just because you have a lot of them doesn't mean everyone has a lot of them... Wink

Another thread back from the dead - the Mahon collection yielded up 2 more Isaac Cyborgs with docs. I'm hoping to take pics, scan docs/disks and get them online this summer.

Did you ever get the scans? I have that hardware and would like to re-activate it.

Any help with manuals or software is welcome.

Has there been any update on the software and manual for this hardware? I have the hardware but no documentation or software.
