You're quite right. I'm in Maryland, near Washington, DC. As to prices, I'm
looking for best offer. Preference to local pick up. Things, like the HP-150 docs, may
become "free to a good home for shipping". By the way, I don't need any more
emails telling me how valuable the DOS 1.0 is. I get it.

I'm not getting rid of my whole collection or
anything, but things are
getting a little tight in terms of physical space and I have stuff that
simply doesn't keep my interest. I'd rather not do ebay so I'll offer them
here first. I will put up pictures if there is interest. None of this is
"barn stored". It has all been in my temperature controlled house since
last century.
1) HP series 100 (the 150 and 150 touchscreen II) documentation. This
could be described as the "grey wall" for the HP 150. All the basic books
plus Wordstar, Spellstar, Multiplan, etc.etc. At least 20 "boxed books".
Many (I think all but have not checked yet) have original diskettes. HP-150
with built in printer to come when I get back to it.
2) IBM PC original "boxed books"
a) "DOS" part number 6024001 on spine. I would call the condition
excellent. Two original 5.25 diskettes: DIAGNOSTICS Version 1.02 6081552.
DOS Version 1.00 6172212 (I'm tempted to keep this because of the CP/M -vs-
DOS controversy)
b) "DOS" part number 6024001 on spine with round sticker "1.10 with
Graphics". I would call the condition very good. One original 5.25
diskette: DOS Version 1.10 1502330
c) Four UCSD p-System books: Beginner's guide, Assembler reference, Internal
Architecture Guide, User's guide. The "User's guide" box contains
five
original 5.25 diskettes: STARTUP, SYSTEM 2, SYSTEM 4, EXTRAS and UTILITIES.
3) IBM FORTRAN-77 Reference for the UCSD p-System "boxed book".
Contains one original 5.25 diskette: UCSD p-System FORTRAN Version IV.0
6936510
4) IBM COBOL Compiler by Microsoft "boxed book". Contains two original
5.25 diskettes: LIBRARY 6936566, COBOL 6172250
5) Various other original IBM PC "boxed books". Document Retrieval
Assistant, 3101 Emulation, Dow Jones Reporter, SNA 3270, etc. etc. Maybe a
dozen.
6) The box and binder for "Guide to operations, Personal Computer XT".
Unfortunately, it does not contain this. Instead it contains "The CP/M and
IBM Public Domain Library" by Dynacomp. This all seems to be later CP/M,
running on the IBM PC or Kaypro. Just documentation and listings, no media.
7) IBM Graphics Development Toolkit "boxed book". Three original 5.25
diskettes: VDI device drivers, Language Libraries, Supplemental Programs.
8) BASIC - Personal Computer - PCjr "boxed book". Contains original ROM
Cartridge "Cartridge BASIC" 1302285. (Maybe this should go with the PCjr I
will be offering when I dig it out)
9) ERGO MOBY BRICK 486DX-33 computer. Missing original power supply. I
cobbled together a supply last century some time and it worked then. Has
not been powered on in at least 25 years.
10) Osbone Executive. Limited Edition, personalized plaque to "ANNETTE
KING". It ran last century. Has not been powered on in at least 25 years.
More to come.
