I think this is about as close as I will get to owning an S80.
I was at a vintage carboot sale with my son and he spotted two old toolboxes full of old electronic components.
I asked the sell how much he wanted for one toolbox and he said '$1', I asked him if it included the toolbox too and he said 'yes', so I asked him how much for the second toolbox and he said '$1', so I quickly handed over my $2 and ran back to my car with the toolboxes before he changed his mind. In the toolbox was this along with all these S80 chips were ROMs for a Vic20, and many other MOS chips for the 1541 drive as well as many other rare components. That was my best ever swap-meet find.
