Hi Dave,
I'll send this to the group, I suspect my email made it into your spam.

Hi Dave,
I was just researching the IOB6120 (I had an 8 at the end of the model..
sigh - memory is often faulty)
WOW - I had no idea that existed. I also had no idea that the
community picked up Bob's designs and ran with them so enthusiastically - I
feel like I have been under a rock for quite a while.
I would be very very happy to purchase your board + IOB that you have put
together - If the enclosure is not ideal, I am very happy to update that -
these little boards are awesome.
Just let me know a Paypal address and shipping details.
Kindest regards,
Doug Jackson

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much for that.
Yes, postage is a pain, but necessary.
If you are not using it, then the partially built one makes sense
(assuming you can find the programable logic and CPU).
Failing that, then I don't mind paying the 250 Pounds for the built board
as long as it's complete :-) As I said, I was devastated.
Are you able to double check and send me some photos.
For a shipping address, I am at:

Doug,
Well I fished out the SBC + IOB and tested it. It actually boots from
both IDE disk and CF card.
I made a few pictures and video and stuck them on my one drive...
https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ag4BJfE5B3onoNli9TZ4C4GMmhTJbg?e=wUThV9
I need to dig a little deeper for the board and bits, but I only have a
CPU board, not an IOB...

Hi Dave,
That's exactly what I remembered - *infinite* storage across many volumes
:-)
That enclosure looks practical as well. - Whats the PSU? Fortunately the
UK and Aus have the same power 230V (ish).
Given the level of completeness, I would be very happy to provide the
completed unit a new home if you are happy to send it.
If you do find the other board and bits, I would have a think about them -
Maybe somebody here in Oz would be interested - I will ask around - I dont
think I *need* a PDP8 cluster ;-) Maybe thats also a conversation for the
Minister of Parks and Recreation here :-)
I love that the IOB is surface mount - It has caused my brain to start
thinking about simplifying some of my STD bus based boards to be SM - So
much cleaner.
I can do payment via Paypal if thats ok? Just let me know what you would
like..
Kindest regards,
Doug Jackson

OK so I have found the bits I have which are:-
2 x SBC6120 PCBs RBC Edition R 1.10 08-Oct-2016
2 x Custom Chips - BTS6120 High, BTS6120 Low, IOT 1, IOT 2, MEM
2 X HD1-6120-9
6 X HD1-6402-9
What I don't have is any 82C55A, AS6C1008 or the other bits needed to
complete a unit. (actually I might have some power connectors)
Assuming Doug is taking the working unit, If others in Australia want
any bits I can ship them to Doug.
I think £50 is a reasonable price for 1 off - PCB, Custom Chips, 6120
and 6402.
Spare 6402s available for postage.

Hi Doug,
Chris Tersteeg over at Vcfed designed a very nice front panel (FP6120
replacement) and also a 3D printed case for the SBC6120.
Check out the following thread:
https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/sbc6120-mini-front-panel.1245272/
All the design files including build instructions, Gerbers, BOM and STL
files are available from GIThub:
https://github.com/djtersteegc/sbc6120-mini-front-panel
If you have no SBC6120 CPU board you can build a new one using a PCB
redesign from Retrobrew:
https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/doku.php?id=boards:sbc:sbc6120-rbc-editi…
Gerbers, BOM, software and build instructions for the SBC6120 CPU board are
available from the link above (see the "File List" at the bottom of the
Retrobrew page).
Enjoy
Tom
