Today I received... this industrial ISA 486 Single Board Computer. I took a chance as the previous owner couldn't get it to display anything but fortunately was able to get it working very easily (by changing the RTC module and fiddling with the RAM socket connectors). I had it running a 486 DX4 100...

Yes, I can make and sell you one. There is a pic here: viewtopic.php?t=4437

An Issue 5 QL with the early production post kludge factory EPROM mods, piggybacked EPROM chips and the extra decoder chip. Machine only

£150

What's the serial number (if it has one) out of interest?

Both those Thors on ebay went for a lot (not to me)! £1,020 for the model in nicer cosmetic condition with the 2 FDDs and £675 for the single FDD model with signs of corrosion. That's more than I thought they'd go for.

What's the green serial number on the bottom? The socket next to the ROM is present on early Iss 5 boards and can be used to house a 74LS00 and with the wire links configured differently the ROM sockets can be converted to use normal EPROMS instead of those mask ROMs. I don't know what the number me...
