Two card board dummy disks used to protect the floppy drives duing shipment. Joe > >A few weeks ago we were talking about the Sanyo 550 series and someone mentioned one of the alternates operating systems that supported 80 track drives in the 550. I said that was DS-DOS by Michtron. > > Today I found an old Sanyo disk package with four disks for the 550. One of them is DS DOS 2.11, one is InfoStar, one is MailMerge/SpellStar and the other is a disk of misc utilities. The first three are original disks. In additon, the InfoStar, MailMerge/SpellStar are Sanyo labeled disks that came with the 550. If anyone wants them, trade me something I can use and they're all your's. > > Joe

Hyperion Passport, Apricot, Convergent Technologies workSlate, Amdek, HELP!

by Maddog1331＠aol.com

Hey all...I am new to this classic computer collecting, but I have been buying and reselling systems for a few months now. Anyway, I recently acquired a Hyperion Passport (or is it a Passport Hyperion?), an Apricot, a workSlate, and some drives, and other stuff (diskettes, or things) that say Amdek on them. I am just looking on any information I can find on these! I am attempting to put a value on them, and am trying to decide which to keep, if any....I am running out of room it seems :-) Any help would be appreciated! Sincerely, Mark Saarinen

Hyperion Passport, Apricot, Convergent Technologies workSlate,

by Maddog1331＠aol.com

To be honest, I cant get to it at the moment lol...I have a ton of stuff I just got in, the Apricot among it. As near as I can recall, it was basically rectangular shaped with 2 disk drives on the front, the front being one of the narrow ends of the rectangle. I am really going to tear into this stuff tomorrow or Friday! I still havent got all of it to the house :-) I believe I can make quite a few decent systems out of all this stuff! And hey, to everyone who answered me, thank you so much! All this info is coming in really handy! Mark

The Computerist's Video Plus board

by jlewczyk＠his.com

I just dug out an old single board computer which was made by a company called "The Computerist" which is called a "Video Plus", probably around 1981-82. Its a 6502 based board with the same form factor as the Kim-1 and I believe the same pin outs on the two 44 pin edge connectors. It has some 6522 vias and some video signal generating chip, a composite video output, sockets for eprom, four 2114 ram, etc. Does anybody have documentation on this board? I lost mine years ago when I sold off my old KIM-1 stuff :-( and would like to resurrect this board. Its in very good shape, but is missing some socketed chips. Need docs though to get anywhere. Any leads would be appreciated, even a contact to someone who ran the company or worked there could help. They had a lot of neat products! The COMPUTERIST, INc. P.O. Box 3, S. Chelmsford, MA 01824 Thanks! John Lewczyk jlewczyk(a)his.com
