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.

Has anyone ever heard of theProtec Microsystems PRO-83?

by rdcoll＠hotmail.com

Hello everyone, I just joined this mailing list today on the advice of more than one vintage computing contact. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the Protec Microsystems PRO-83 Z80 Single-Board Computer. I have conducted an exhaustive search of the Internet and found only two sites (one from a surplus store and a picture of it from a museum). I would appreciate any information available, especially information regarding the power supply and peripheral devices. Thank you very much.

Blowing Up Old Computers

by celt＠chisp.net

I wonder how long it will be before some fool donates a PDP or some other piece of kit we hold near and dear to our hearts, to these miscreants. Sure, it's amusing when it's a 286 being pipe-bombed, but probably not so much fun (for me, anyway) when they get their hands on an Amiga or a Sol. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye... http://www.letsblowitup.com/default.shtml

History Channel - The Internet: Behind the Web

by daw＠yalepress3.unipress.yale.edu

Just curious... did anybody else watch the History Channel last night, 7:00PM Eastern Time. The Modern Marvels episode was about the creation of the internet. Rather fascinating to me (who learned some things), and kinda neat to put faces to names... Not to mention the pictures of the old, err, classic computers and terminals... -- --- David A.

Osborne OCC1

by CochraneS＠sgstool.com

I have come across an Osborne model OCC1 Serial # 134033. This unit has the 300 baud modem. It also has 5 1/4 disk with it. (SuperCalc, WordStar, Qbasic) The unit boots up and runs the software but after about 15 to 20 minutes it starts to overheat.(smoke) My question is - What is the selling price for a unit like this and where would be the best place to sell it?
