Someone just mentioned nicolet which rings a bell...
At a local surplus store, I've been eyeing a nicolet machine. It sure LOOKS
like a computer. ISTR panel labels about registers, instruction counter,
etc. Front panel has lots of blinkenlightenz. Can't recall the model number,
330 or 880 or 800 possibly comes to mind...
Also can't remember but there may be a dual floppy unit with it. Just on
appearances I was considering adding it to my collection - they only wanted
about $15.00 for it. Looks in good shape. Can anyone give me any information
on this guy about what it really is from my schetchy outline?

(Hey Paul! Sorry we missed you at TRW!)
Marvin got a Processor Tech dual 8" floppy subsystem and an HP 65
desktop comp.
I found a Kaypro 10 for $5, and a Nicolet digital storage scope
for $10. No chance right now to see if it works... I got a box of
binders of HP 3000 software docs, and a bunch of other classiccmp
related software books, like Lisp, Pascal, and some early IBM PC
type books.
(I have to work today and tonite; I won't be able to unpack the
truck and get to this stuff until tomorrow.)
I also was given a Sord Socius.. after the idiot who bought it
tore it apart for the 8" disk drives, and then discovered he didn't
want them after all. Any info on this machine? Date codes are from
the early 80s, and it has an 8086 and 8087... color monitor... big
machine. It's in pieces right now and the case is gone, but it
might be good for parts.... I also have the OS (I think) and
another disk which were in the drives. The OS disk is labelled
partially in Japanese.
I got a newish DEC backplane with some hex-height boards..
L1011??? have to unpack it and then I'll look em up.
I saw an old friend of mine there whilst I was buying the HP 65...
he didn't know I collected Old Iron..... "Oh, then you would you be
interested in two old IMSAI 8080s I have? I was using them to
collect and collate earthquake data, but I don't use them now and
they're just in the way..."
YAAAHAHAHHAAA!!!!!! Of course what I said to *him* was: "Hmmmm
those are really *old*... I'll call you monday and I'll come check
them out...." salivate salivate Pavlov's Classic Collector
salivate salivate...
Non classiccmp... I got an ancient VOX harmonizer accessory, and
the an old Teac Dolby Encode/Decode box.
Dave Dameron stopped by.... but no party this time, Marvin and I
both had afternoon appointments.

PS: Next TRW: 27 March 99...
A bunch of X terminals were donated to the local university, but the company
was unable to find most of the host software... If anyone has the host based
software for these, i'd sure like to get a copy:
A couple Sun SPARCclassic X units were donated. They look to my eyes as
if they are a normal sun, just missing a floppy drive... Can I just install
Solaris on these?
A pair of terminals from "Phase X Systems". I've never heard of them.
The majority of terminals are from HP. Both HP Entria Plus, and a few
HP Entria II systems. I really* need the host software for these...

Quite a few of my machines -- including one PC-compatible and a couple of
Sparcs -- have 30-pin 4MB SIMMs. They're fairly common.

Hey,
TRW was a blast this morning. I found a Sony SMC-70G computer. I looks a
little like an old laptop. Does anyone have the OS for this machine? It has
the video titler modification. The cool thing about the computer is the two
3.5' Drive bays. Sony developed the 3.5" disk for this computer. It was
their first "micro computer." I also scored an original TRS-80 monitor
that still works.
I have about 15 Apple II e and a few Plus, about 20 floppie drives, some
manuals, power supplies, and a selection of language cards, etc. Anyone
interested. I am not looking to make money, just looking to help anyone that
might be collecting this stuff.

Actually, Sellam, the question may be rendered academic, because...
1 SHARE LEFT! Yes, folks, we're up to 24 shares (some people bought two).
We've got one left, and if no one else speaks up I think I may pick it up
myself.
Soooo.... does anyone else want a copy of Teledisk? With the number of
folks we've got now, the remaining share would be around $6 and change.
Anyone?

Power supply for model 70, like new and works fine. Gutted machine for
motherboard related errors and have teted this unit with other 70's -
works flawlessly. $5.00 plus applicable USPS rate, about 5 lbs weight

Good Morning,
Today, I saw an interesting typewriter from the late '70s/early '80s
called a Hermes 51 Level 4. It's an enormous 135-column daisy wheel with
erasing tape. What is interesting about it is that it has an external disk
drive, connected to it with an extremely thick cable. The drive is called
a 'microdisk' according to the reference card. It allows storage of text.
Looks like a scaled-down VHS tape rewinder. I have never seen any disk
that might fit it. Does anyone know anything about this machine? This
might be one of the first 'word processor' typewriters. It also has a
green LED display and a light-and-mirror system to make sure the operator
can easily read the paper as it is being printed.
BTW: I also saw a Rainbow 100. Anything distinguishing it from any other
CPM/MS-DOS machine?

WHOA! Stop the presses! I goofed.
A couple of people in the group ordered two shares in the group buy for
Teledisk, so I screwed up in the previous message.
We have FIVE (5) shares left. The deadline of tomorrow at 17:00 Pacific is
still in effect.
If we get a full 25 people in on this, the total cost with shipping will
be $6.12 per person.
Let me know! Thanks...
