I've got a dead Commodore Colt (PC-III) that was working when it came
to me (and was used to burn many GG2 Bus+ GALs) then the battery
leaked and took out the traces nearby.  I moved the burner to a Compaq
286/SLT laptop (its timing is such that it does not work with anything
as "new" as fast as a 25MHz 386), but the Colt is still on the repair
pile.
