Hints:
1) It's a chess computer.
2) It's on ebay right now.
3) I might have to buy it.
Whatever could it be? Guesses welcome. Dipping into second beer and toasting Fern and Janice...

Oh all right - I'll end the guessing game.
It was Fidelity model 6080B - an Excellence variant. Yes, I already have one. I bought it anyway. Complete, no box, no manual. 30 smackers. I know the difference between 6080 and 6080B is unsettled, and maybe no difference exists. I know because I stumbled across an ancient post from Steve, linked here:
http://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=489600
I wonder, but do not know, whether the 6080B is a 4Mhz version - or if that only came in the EP12 models. Regardless, I can try a few tests with my old original Excellence (6080) and see if any behavioral differences appear...
Game over regards,
