If I was in NL and had some space, I'd get that with no hesitation! Don't just buy it for the chips...

What model it is?
Bitsavers has logic diagrams and technical reference for model 1200:

http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/basicFour/LD1010_Model_1200_CPU_Logic_Diagrams_Aug73.pdf
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/basicFour/TM1010_Model_1200_CPU_Tech_Man_Aug73.pdf

Model 1200 is 8 bit minicomputer with 16 bit addresses. It uses two 74S181's for ALU and four 3101A's for register file.

I'm with donutty on this one. If I had the space to store it, I would buy it to preserve (and I would also probably use it for a while, just because I could Smile )

Years ago I worked in a place where we used one of those VAX11/780's as a coat cupboard. That seemed pretty cool at the time...
