And you can still get new Dallas 12887 clock chips off ebay. I bought some with a 2010 datecode and they work perfectly in my 486 boards.

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.

70 bucks for all that is a great deal, and I'm assuming it's a compete and assembled system so you know all those bits work with each other - not a given for that era hardware.

It's a nice motherboard too. I say snap it up!

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Thanks guys, I have made up my mind. I'm buying it! I'll post some pictures when I receive the machine 😀

badmofo: Yes, it is a complete system, but some parts have been changed from when it was running, so no gurantee that it will work together. If I run into problems I'll come running to Vogons 😀
