Interesting! But way out of my price league right now.

Re: Rare Einstein on ebay. Deserves to be saved!!
So, i reached out to the seller and asked some questions.
This is one of the original 4 prototype Einsteins from back in the day. The seller got it from one of the Tatung Software Developers when they had done with it, and its been sat in storage for a long time.
Apparently, it was used to develop the original games from Tatung!
I love the black keys and so wish I could scrape the money together to buy this. It will probably end up being sold to someone who will sell it on again for more money!

I really hope it went to someone who will do a video on it. I am interested in the daughterboard as it looks like some sort of prototype or upgrade that never ade it to production?

I came close to selling an Apple ][ and Memotech 512 in order to afford this one but it sold before my resolve wavered.
