Dale Luck is the actual owner of the Lorraine prototype (he still has it). The one in ebay is an early developer kit.

I can verify this claim. Dale has the Lorraine prototype. This item on Ebay is not THE Lorraine prototype for sure, but seems genuine.

I hope that is clear by now.

Yeah, but you know some people don't read all comments and one poster earlier was calling it a Lorraine, so I just wanted to make it crystal clear that it's not.

As for the need for a SAGE (IV?), my guess is as yours for the early versions of the dev. system at least. This one comes with a floppy drive so perhaps not? Who knows?

Do you know if it's intact?



I misread your previous comment for "do you know this for a fact?" Tired. Sigh...

So to answer your comment, as far as I know all the parts are the there, but it's in non-working shape. :-( As you can see from the various photos, it is a nightmare of wire-wraps which easily disconnect and would pretty much force someone to reverse engineer it to reconnect them properly...

Not I. A bit high for my tastes.

Lucky dog, speak up! ;-) (and please take better photos)
