I kind of doubt it; it's my understanding that they're quite hard to come by and a bit of a collector's item. (But hey, you never know.)

Interesting little machine, the Ace. Jupiter Forth is definitely closer to a Real Programming Language than a lot of the built-in BASICs of the time, but still...1KB of RAM? In 1982? Really?
 
Yhea I had a chance to pick one up at a swap meet but didnt know what it was till i researched after that i never saw the guy again.

RARE to have seen one here in the states.
 
Ooh, no kidding. I'd be frequenting that meet on the off chance he comes back. In the meantime, if you just want to get a feel for the thing, vAce is a decent emulator for it. (The nifty thing being that the emulation is 100% legal, as Jupiter Cantab gave their OK to redistribute the ROM. Would that more former computer manufacturers were as understanding...)

This is why I buy first and research later, at least if it's going for cheap...
