Well over the last couple weeks the Mac XL from eBay arrived in the mail
but was DOA. It will go into the repair pile at the warehouse. Got a
nice book by Dr. Jerry M. Rosenberg called The Computer Prophets from
1969.
Here's a short list of some items I picked up.
1. Nice Next KB for the N4000A monitor at the local Goodwill (still
looking for the computer).
2. Galactic Pinball cartridge for the Virtual Boy console.
3. I-O Corp. model 2677C terminals (3 of them) at a auction for 50 cent
each.
4. IBM 3180-02 terminal for 50 cent at same auction.
5. Prc Realty System model 101 Data terminal based on the TI 745
portable.
6. IBM 8503-001 mono monitor.
7. Large box with a Mac Plus and all kinds of goodies for it for free at
the auction.
8. hp 700/70 terminal for $3 powers up great but need the kb for it.
9. A Jetbook 386sx notebook for $10, needs battery charger.
10. Robot named 2-XL from 1978, needs a little care.
11. TurboGrafx 16 with 8 games on the HuCard for $20 at the flea market.
12. AS/400 Barcode labeling software.
13. About 20 more mousepads for the collection.
That's it for now there were lots more items but some are too new to
list. Keep on computing.
There is a great website ( http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/ ) with
information about what to do if you get one of those scam letters.
The US Treasury department is collecting info and procicuting scammers.
You can forward your scam letter to: 419.fdc(a)usss.treas.gov
*** argh! bad email address, it's probably us.treas.gov, but I'll check. ***
Be sure to mark it "No financial loss" ... unless you fell for the scam : ^ )
See the website above for info.

I'm looking for an HP86 as a backup for the one I use with a data
acquisition system. Is it still available? This message is quite old so
I'll be surprised if the equipment is still available. Thanks!
I have some old Sun Sparc systems that need to find a new home (preferably
not the dumpster in the parking lot). Is there any one here who might be
interested.
I have SparcStation 1's
I have SparcServer 330's
and even a Sun4/something that was in a 7' high rack and includes a
9 track tape drive (which worked quite well the last time I used it.)
All of this stuff is at the University of Scranton and would need to
be picked up. It's free, although I wouldn't turn down some PDP or
VAX trinkets (expcept async boards :-) in exchange.
Please reply directly to me as I am currently not reading the list.

I've recently joined, but if this message is a request for parts, a friend of
mine has some ASR33's. I think he has original maintenance books too.
Let me know and I'll forward him your request.
Before I give in to the temptation to e*** this critter, anyone know
anything interesting about it or care to make me an interesting offer
(sell/trade/etc.) on it?

Oregon actually. ;^} Much more interesting weather, a bit slower paced,
much quieter most of the time. I rather like it.
