Greetings to All,
I apologize for the shameless self-promotion, but I want to let you know that I'm selling a Xerox 820-II on Ebay. It's complete, works very well, has some brand new spares and original manuals. Lots more detail and pictures are located at

Xerox 820 on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320265453123&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011)

or just do a search for Xerox 820, it comes right up.

Thank you for your time...

Further shameless self-promotion, if anyone here buys this, I have a Digital RX-180-AB external dual drive box that owners of 820s used to like hooking to them :)

Here's a little bit of info and a picture;

Here is a picture from Dave Dunfield's site of the RX-180 hooked up to a "Robin" VT-180 (second from the bottom)

As to why it was popular for the 820, I read the rationale in some obscure posting somewhere and, if I find it, I'll post it. Apparantly, lots of systems can use it.

I know Rich Cini gutted one to hook up to his IMSAI system :)

:twisted:

Thanks for your kind words Sharkonwheels.
It is currently quite unappreciated and needs to go to a loving home with a big backyard so it can roam and be free to play Global Thermonuclear War with other computers it's own age
:p
