Hi
I have a 1981 IBM 5150, complete with monitor and tracotr-feed dot-matrix
printer which I am hoping to sell.
Are you interested? If you aren't please could you put me in touch with
anyone who might be interested? Please let me know if you can or can't help
me.
Thanks very much
Simon Taylor

Hello again,
perhaps a bit uncommon question, but does anyone in (preferrably middle)
Europe have a 9" crt tube for Mac SE/30? I suppose it's the same as in
SE, the box definitely looks the same. I've broken mine by accident, and
really would like to use this box ;)
Thanks in advance,

Postage Austria <--> UK isn't much different from Austria <--> (anywhere
else in EC), so I'd just send him EUR8 and see what happens.

I am searching out any retail software packaging that conforms to the
following description:
The front cover of the packaging has a flap that opens up (like a book) to
reveal a manual or pamphlet inside. The flap must be part of the box
itself, and not part of a sleeve that slips over the box.
I have Delrina WinFax Pro 3.0 which almost fits this description but the
flap is part of a sleeve that fits over the main box.
Any software in question must have been published or put on the market
prior to March of 1996. One possible example may be Delrina WinFax Pro
4.0 (which is what I was originally searching for a couple months back).
If you have any software packaging that fits this description, please
contact me directly at <sellam(a)vintage.org>.
There is a bounty for this!

What's the problem? If you are happy about the total price
(7.10euro) for the ROMs just pop 8 euro into an envelope
with a letter wrapped round them indicating where you
want them posted to. Include an email address and I expect
he'll get back to you if there is a problem. This has
always worked for me ... both with Europe and the US.

On the way home today, I decided to stop at the local Goodwill, in my
(never-ending?) search for Mac ADB keyboard cables. Well, I picked up a
working Mac SE/30 w/ keyboard for $5.00, and a 18" x 30" Guiness
chalkboard for $12.00. No keyboard cable with the Mac, though... Sigh...
The search continues...
A local used computer shop did net me a Mac keyboard and cable, for
$10.
Now, on to the Vax. I have a lead on a forgotten DEC Industrial Vax
630. I don't know what in it or anything yet. It's just the (about) 30"
x 19" x 10" rackmount unit.
Apparently, about 10 -12 years ago, DEC had a contract with a Southern
CT company, that makes industrial keyboards and mice. DEC shipped them
the Vax, to test the devices, all of them. They never asked for the
machine back. The moniter that went with it has since died. That may
still be around, but I don't know. As far as they know, the Vax still
works. Well, at least last time the powered it up.
I'm waiting to see what the company wants to do with it, but if I tell
them someone wants to buy it, that may help. It's a heavy little beast,
so shipping may be a bit much. They'll probably prefer that you pick it
up, but I'm sure something can be worked out if necessary.
Contact me off-list.
