Voice _activated_ or voice _operated_? I could easily imagine a type
writer turning on when you talk to it, but not a typewriter that can
understand speech. Though, with a housefull of tubes, it could
probably be done...

No. Anything I have is a C1P Board (build nicly
in a Childrens school desk :) and a fitting
OSI video board and some casette soft. I wanted
to have one when OSI was a big thing, but I hadn't
the money - and now I can't find any.

I seem to remember there was a single Nixie tube for sale on Haggle.com...
for around $3.00 or so (at the time...)
Don't they run on 170 volts or somesuch wild figure???

No (of course I know the Intelivision :).
I just try to get any information - and
22 years are a long time ago. I also have
some considerations about 'INTEL' - did
they do it, or just a kind of lable
hobo ? The mark used consists of all
capital letters, while the upper bar of
the T covers the whole word.

Nothing to laugh about. Anarchy works great. Take this
list great people, great stuff - or take the Internet
itself - beside some stupid gouvenment issues and some
want-to-be-bosses its pure Anarchy - and great.
Anarchie never ment to be without rules just without
f****** rulers.

Does anybody remember a 'INTEL' video game ? I have
aquired today a unit named 'INTEL UNIVERSAL TELE PLAY'.
Acording to the chip dates the base unit (there is
only the video logic and the connectors inside) must
be manufactured around 1976. The two modules (here is
the processor) I got, SUPERSTAR (a collection of Pong
alikes) and TANK are from 1977 and 1978.
The unit is very nicely, a plastic case with metall
plates, 4 switches (on/of and 3 game dependant), a
Start (Reset) Button and even a numeric keypad to
select games.
Funny numbering on the keypad:
159
260
37*
48=
maybe taken from an old calculator.
The base unit has a German/English mixture of
labels, while the modules (cassetes) are only
in english.

HERE!
No, I have no C4P, but I still would like to get this board.
Maybe I can dig up other parts over the next years. Wasn't
the C4P Board already a complete computer ? At least thats
what I remember. So adding a Terminal and a PSU might be a
first step to check condition.
Please tell me what you ask for it. Or tell me What kind
of trade you might be interested.

hmmm, strange option, as i've seen every pcjr with a disk drive installed
including the two i own. i guess it could still be useful with a floppy
because you could always run those programs on cartridges.
i have no idea why the ps/1 was announced after the ps2. perhaps was just an
afterthought. i've had people actually think that the ps/1 was "better" than
the ps/2 just because it was first.

I'm interested. How much more to ship to UK? If the total is less than
$10 I'll airmail you a bill. (Checks wallet) Damn. No $10 bills. Oh
well, we'll sort something out. Haven't got much else to use my US
currency on, after all...
