No Joy.  Cyrix 6x86, quartet of matched PPro, matched pair of P90 in HKG.
Nothing older than 1994/5.  Legacy stuff (S-100 thru 486) is back in the 
States.
(anyone need IC's for a Honeywell?  Spindle for an ISS-80? TRS-80 'laptop'?)

Shoulda been in the antique biz...

- but that was part of my point.

Most pre-Pentium stuff has been trashed ages ago even by hobbyists.
The drawers here have lots of 1 GHz and under Pentiums also, some
never used, others from upgrades or as spares for expensive SBC's.

 -  we few packrats do not a target market justify...  ;-)

Old hardware - old OS.  It is often all that fits the resources anyway.
