Too far away to make shipping practical, but I'm curious: what's the
experiment about?
Glad you're happy with the PC-5000 etc.; no interest in the monitor I take
it?

I can't make it to VCF this weekend - though
I'm hoping to make it to the
one in September.
I actually am looking for something: any working IEC device for a C64 (1541
drive, printer, plotter?). More for an experiment than collection, but do
prefer clean and presentable.
Earlier this year, I reached someone with a working Poly-88. But then in
March they reported health issues and hospital stays, so I haven't heard
since. Would be interested if anyone else is aware of a still-working one.
We're still working on recovery of an IBM 5100 "launch title" tape
(analytic functions) - practicing with other tapes first. Its 2-channel
deal so far isn't quite that straightforward. But if the Tektronics folks
can do it with their QIC tapes, I'm somewhat hopeful we can too (although
late 70s/early 80s Tektronic is apparently a more proper IEEE-488).
Only thing I could offer right now is a fairly not-working 5110 (display
don't work, PSU don't work, cards don't work - but the case is pristine).

I mean, after all, that's why I started the VCF ;)
Yes, but you handed it over to a swell bunch of people before I finished
parting with my stuff!
