I have placed a piccie of my HX-20, for your viewing pleasure, at http://www.comcen.com.au/~adavie/weird/hx20/hx20.jpg Please note the unit shown is sitting in a nifty snaplock carrybox from EPSON, has the expansion unit connected on the left. The leaflet shown lists the unit at $1487. This is in the days when $1AUS = US$1.09. I'm very open to trades on this unit. I'm looking for cartridges from the video console machines, and the machines themselves. Cheers A

< I do not _want_ the job, I am simply willing to do it. I <would _prefer_ Allison or Tim Shoppa, as I think they have better First and formost, don't suck me into this. The list. It's charter is simple. Occasional digressions and ratholes can be interesting. Posturing and fighting is boring. Allison

Folks I just received this in private email from Bill Whitson. I rarely break rules of privacy like this, but the information here affects _so_ many people. Depending on what happens I may unsubscribe from this list. I want everyone to know that I've learned some wonderful things here and feel I've 'met' some amazing players in the high technology arena.

Maybe list division? Re: [bcw@u.washington.edu: Re: Apology, Info, Etc...]

by photze＠batelco.com.bh

Hi. Instead of killing the current classiccmp, we could just take some parts of it off. For instance, we could make a "classiccmpmarket" list for buying/selling classics. Just a thought, Tim D.

Apple - PC

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

In a message dated 98-03-18 21:39:17 EST, you write: << 4. Wasn't there something called a Central Point Option Card (or something like that?) that allowed a person to install an Apple drive in a PC? ttyl srw >> the only thing i'm familiar with is the central point copy option board which let a pc do a bit copy of any disk, write protected, ibm format or not. i have two, one is an earlier version i think, but i've never gotten around to setting it up yet. david

RGB monitor

by jstorm＠RFPP.com

Sorry, I don't have the answer. I have a 12" RGB monitor that works with a IIGS but when I plug it into my Mac IIsi, I get nothing. Please let me know if you find out where you can get technical info on Apple monitors. Thanks, jstorm
