Ampro LB-186, circa 1985. Features an Intel 80186 CPU, 512Kb RAM, dual serial ports, parallel, floppy and on-board SCSI, in an SBC the same footprint as a 5.25" drive. I can't locate the .pdf of the manual I have, but I'm sure that if you ask real nicely, Ampro tech support will send you a copy too.

$35.00 + shipping, or whaddya got to swap?

Oh, cool...if only I needed yet another hobby project :lol:

And the price is really good, too, SBCs usually end up going higher than that on eBay. The processor is (relatively) odd, so it might be worth more than, say, an 8088...

By the way, I'm looking for the DOS Support Diskette for that board. If you have it, can you PM me?

Thanks!

I knew that name looked familiar (rich cini). I got lucky and found the pdf in about 12 seconds of googleland.

I actually took the advice of someone on ClassicCmp regarding Ampro. I emailed them and in a few days, the PDFs for both the LB286 and LB186 appeared in my inbox. Unfortunately, they no longer have the DOS support disk for the LB186. The LB186 will run DOS, but there are supposedly some programs that enhance compatibility for DOS programs that don't play exactly by the rules.

That would also explain why I never found it when I last googled for it.

(How come my spellchecker tells me I spelt googled wrong?)

It's just one big example of conservation of matter!

If anyone has anything specific to this board that they need archived, I can host that.

I have a collection of Apple ][ share/freeware that needs a webhost. Pm me for details.
