If any of them contain the game "Iggy Igopolis", I would like a copy of
the game (it was shareware, so you can safely just email me the game, I
don't need the whole disk).
My floppy with it has gone bad (it robbed a 7-11)... and I have not yet
been successful in finding a new copy (but I did track down Captain
Magneto which made me very happy)

Someone mentioned the RT mouse has two round buttons. I have had this mouse
in my collection and have been wondering what it was for.

The connector is a 6 pin square. Can anyone ID it?
If someone is interested it is available FSOT. Please contact me off list at

That would be *old* mainframe technology. This is *new* mainframe
technology. What's that array, Sridhar? 2 or 4TB?

I was wondering if any of my fine fellow listers might have
cassette software (especially BASIC, but would love to have
anything) for the Interact Model One.
Having acquired one of these, I'm interested in making it
do something besides say "PRESS 'L' TO LOAD TAPE."
If anyone has cassettes they'd be willing to dub for me, I
would be thrilled to repay you in gratitude, some piece of
80's micro hardware or software _you_ might be looking for,
or, of course, plain old cash for your time and tape.

It's the old "drive roller turned to glue" problem. I need to fix a 9825 as
well.
I tried a few TV/HI-FI repair shops and asked "where can I get one of these
or something similar ?"
My question was followed by "Have you got a part Number ? " Grrrrrr :-(

That looks like the RT PC mouse that I remember. I believe (based on
my inventory) that the IBM part number is 00F2383.

Yep. Sooo.... I didn't tell everyone about my new VT131 yet.
That's the ticket -- how about those classic computers? ;)

Paul, I received them - exceedingly well packaged - in yesterday's mail.
Thank you very much.
As a matter of possible interest, they contain the operating system
(CP/M-2.20) and other associated programs for the BYAD PC/XT Z-80 card.
Disk format is same as the old 8 x 512 sector PC-CP/M-86.
