Argh!!! I just received an email from someone who just threw away 3 working Exidy Sorcerer's because they thought they'd never hear anything about them ever again. THEN they found my website. The fates mock me. :-( Well the good news is they may still have some Sorcerer newsletters they produced which I've asked to place on the site so I guess it isn't all bad. ----- "What is, is what?"

There are lots of surplus old x-ray equipment that is being disposed of by hospitals and clinics. Some is sent overseas. Maybe you could intercept some. There is some danger if it is used improperly. >Request for those skilling in locating odd bits- >> I am looking for a real x-ray generator- Modifying kitchen >>appliances or using thyratrons coated with magnesium won't due.

FW: Whats a reasonable collection?

As I said in another post, I could have this wrong, but the name of the MCA designer was for certain a very familiar name to me... and I don't hob-nob with engineers that much (just don't know any). Well, Gordon Bell and I have been swapping e-mails, but I wouldn't claim to *know* him. -dq

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Ok, for what its worth, it's only the desk the Wang mounts in that is in the garage... And it is a 2200MVP.. Also, for what its worth, should anyone ever need it, I have the software for a MINC on the original floppies.. And I know where there are like 4 MINC racks (sans MINC, else I'd have a MINC rather than merely having most of the boards from one). Oh yeah, in other words I'd love to find a MINC : ) Will J _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
