I want to upgrade·my·rare, OOP·BS1 Rev Dx·for·most any old gullwing·Mercedes.

Any takers? I can come to you for the trade.

It's a BEAUTIFUL BS1. Did I mention they're out of production? They don't make 'em like this anymore!

    You said any old? I have a 1954 300SL that I would be happy to trade for that card. I loved the DX! With this swap, I should get the card AND one of you Corvair's.

    Oh, did I mention the Mercedes is a 1:18 diecast? http://www.diecastmodelswholesale.com/servlet/the-3201/1954-mercedes-gullwing-1-fdsh-18/Detail

    Erco: that is a beautiful BS1 REV DX, one of my favorite boards.
    I added a small solderless breadboard and built three of these
    into the World's 1st 3-Dimensional Stamp Computer (3DSC) and
    upgraded it to the 4D Morphing Computer (with moving cores).

    You can see how compact and light weight these boards are by
    checking the photos at this link. The BS1 is a remarkable
    processor, and the most fun to program. It's very awesome
    when Parallax made a path to programming it through the
    serial port and a windows machine. With a USB converter added
    on, you can program through the USB port. Did you know... it's
    possible to overclock the BS1, just like you can overclock a
    propeller chip.

    I know this is heresy, but somewhere around here I have a couple of the Scott Edward Electronics Counterfeit Basic Stamps that was essentially a BS1 clone sold as a kit with all through-hole components.

    If they ever surface in the archeological dig that is my office I will probably toss them since I no longer own a computer with a parallel port to program them.

    There's always the BS1 serial adapter for $5.
