Several people have asked me, "is this an assembled and tested system,
or just blank boards?"

I suppose I should have been explicit about this:  it's just the *bare
boards*, no parts.  Just boards, that's right, boards only.

(Did anyone really think you could buy an assembled and tested 32K RAM
6811 system for $27 each?  If only...)

Sorry for any confusion or raising people's hopes.
