Found a weird old computer dumpster diving. (z80?)
tsvisimcha:
I was going dumpster diving and I found a Smith & Nephew DYONICS PS3500EP Arthroscopic Surgical System. It had a cool enclosure and some nice clicky switches so I took it. Upon popping it open it appears to have a Zilog z80 CPU and a bunch of other DIP socketed chips. What I assume is the motherboard looks similar to very old PCs I've seen however this hardware is a bit before my time. Does anyone know if there's anything interesting I can do with it? I can send some pictures of the inside later if anyone's interested.
Thanks!

Sure, build a z80 computer.

Here's the picture of the mainboard. I took it out of the unit to get a better picture. The rest of the components seem to be for high voltage (big transformers and scary caps) and I'm a little scared to remove them in case one of the caps is still charged (doubtful).
