Yes I have contact info for the 1802 fab guy.
I did run the IEC as it turns out.  Lode runner :)

The TRS-80 needs quite a bit of work.  I did not find much to work with
in inventory last time I checked.  It will take an entire workshop to 
get it
really up to snuff.

Atari- Lode runner on disk... I guess that's why the BASIC cart was out 
of it.
Cool.
