I'd quite like that, but the seller hasn't offered shipping to the UK :-(
I've mailed asking...

I've got a 25 euro bid on it.  If you really want it I won't go higher.

Thanks! But I can't say I really want it desperately, so I'll wait for the next one :-)

Perhaps more important - you do realize it's for XT-class computers right?

He means it's not PC compatible and not easy to make it PC compatible.

Simplified even further, it won't work and not easy to make it work.

PS. If you can easily make it work, please post.

I'd use a Teensy - http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=XT+Model+F+Adapter+Project

Probably not what you'd call 'easy' :-D
