The AC adapter is still available from Radio Shack although at a premium price - about $25. There is also a 16K memory add-on that can sometimes be found used on the net.

Is that canadian $? Osbornes seem to regularly sell on ebay for US$100+;
$24 doesn't seem like such a bad investment. (You could get that much for
it even if it didn't work.

Before I start tearing apart my two "new" RK05 drives, can anyone tell me if
the panel lamps are removable without soldering? I have a copule of lamps
that need to be replaced and I can't see too well into the cavity.
Also, I'm looking to get rid of two DEC 200/MC remote access concentrators
and a Multi-Tech modem rack. The modem rack is cool, filled with 12, 2400
baud modems. I got these as part of a 6' equipment rack (which is now filled
with a PDP11/34a).
Also, just an aside. I sent the now-infamous Altair scans tape to Bill
Whitson. I would assume that in the next two weeks they should be posted to
the ftp site (assuming that they pass Bill's tests!)

I might be able to help - I came across one recently but haven't had the
chance to stop by to pick it up. Anyway, the MC-10 or Micro Color Computer
(I assume they are the same thing here - if I'm wrong please discount any
comments I make here) cost around $120 when first released, and it was
intended to compete with the Timex and VIC-20. (And, I imagine, the TI 99/2
- did any of these ever appear?) I don't know of its success as such, but
as I have only seen the one I suspect it was far from great, especially
considering that it was released late (for a ultra-cheap throw-away
computer) against stiff competition. According to my info, video was 16
lines by 32 characters (uppercase only) with 8 colours. Apparantly there
were also 16 graphics characters. It came with 4k RAM, expandable to 16K,
and used the Motorola 6803. It has sound, but I have no idea about how
good it was, and, as per normal, used cassettes for storage.
They look keen, anyway. The one I am after was marked at $100 - they tried
to tell me that was the price. I doubt it was much more here when new. :) I
managed to talk them down to $15, but that was $14 more than I had on me -
so I need to go back and get one of my own. Maybe this weekend.
Hope that helps,
Adam.
Dear Sir:
I have been looking for someone to format and copy some hard disks used
on an iRMX system.
I noticed that you mentioned a company - InBUS - that repaired some of
your equipment. I searched for references to them but found nothing
promising.
Perhaps you sitll have some information about them. If so would you be
so kind as to pass along their contact info?
At any rate I hope it all worked out for you. Ahhh... the joys of
"Legacy Equipment"!
thanks,
