11/03 system on eBay sold

I'm assuming that unlike me, you've also got software that will run on them. The trick would be to come up with software and doc's, and include 'screenshots' of it booting up. Including a terminal would be icing on the cake. I'm guessing such a setup would either go for a frightening amount, or nothing. Zane

Digital DNAS CD request & CD list

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Adrian, Jesus! Nice collection! ;) You're no doubt going to be swamped with "me too!" requests, but.. are you willing to make copies available? I am doing a major DEC software repository here, to which people have access (on an ask- first basis, legal issues and such..) so it doesnt get lost. Space is not an issue (the current array is 5x180G) and neither is bandwidth. If we can work something out (like you making ISO image copies of the CD, and making TDF dumps of the tapes) we can either ftp them over, or i can pay for you shipping a tape with em...

Cool external FD by Nintendo

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

Today at the thrift I found a red case/black face/yellow button external 3.5 FD by Nintendo model HVC-022. Most of the writing on it is in Japanese. It was missing the ac adapter and cable. Copyright date on it is 1985. Anyone else have one of these?

Old Commodore Model 202 adding machine

by fernande＠internet1.net

Hey all, I just saw an old Commodore adding machine, model 202, or something similar, at one of the local Goodwill outlets. It was cheap, but I have no interest in it myself. Do I need to go back tomorrow and pick it up >from someone???? This is something I haven't seem before, and I don't want to pass it up if someone else really wants it. I'll do this for about $5.00 over my cost. I think the thing was labeled at $1.99, or something similar. Shipping will probably be the biggest cost, if I pack it well. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA

I had something for the Apple II that was similar. Animated video like thing of two girls playing "hide the salami" with... well... a salami. I have NO idea what was called, or where the disk went, but I remember it because it was to me just incredible that a computer could turn something like that out. >This was on-the-edge shit and for the most >part seems to be dying (what do you do when not coding >boring stuff) in favor of repeating some hi-paying sort of >state propaganda shit based on GI-Joe. But I seem to recall the game "GI-Joe" was pretty cool. Although honestly I don't remember too much of it, and I know that I was way more easily amused back then than I am now (as testiment to watching Cartoon Network's "Boomerang" channel and wondering why on earth I loved some of those cartoons so much as a kid) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Along those lines there was "Sex Cartoons" for the Commodore 64, a series black and white cartoons that looped. One high school I attended had a room full of Commodore 64s running from a shared 1541 via some peripheral sharing unit. At the start of class everyone would do LOAD"*",8,1 to boot >from whatever disk was in the drive. One day I replaced the typing tutor disk with a copy of "Sex Cartoons". At 13 years of age seeing that running on a room full of Commodore 64s was worth the week of detention I got for it. Then there was "Party Games" on the Amiga, imagine a Decathlon style joystick waggling game with somewhat different graphics.
