Re: Hobbyist looking for Model 170/270/800

Dang, I dismantled my 170 a few years back (it was stuck on V5R4 I think).

Now I have a power 8 (41A) on V7R4 that is collecting dust, but shipping it
would be insane.  It weighs something like 300lbs.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.  I wish it could mine bitcoin
lol.  Then again, I don't care about crypto.
