Does anyone need a 2.88 meg floppy drive, IBM FRU 64F4148 (a Mitsubishi
underneath)? Pulled out of something long ago, and I can only assume that
it is good. Free for shipping, which ought to be about four bucks. First
come first served!

My mistake. A quick Google shows that I had a LAPC-1 -- an MT32 on a card.
I picked up a Heathkit H-8 the other day, well... I won an eBay auction but I got it for a good price. It looks to be in good condition and is full of cards but it is missing the red LED display cover. Does anyone know where I might find one? Also, are there any H-8 manuals out on the web? It would be nice to check this thing out a bit before I fire it up. My H-11 manuals were not much help.
Thanks,

IIRC the MT-32 is a full length card. I'm fairly sure that back in the day I picked one up. Can't remember how. The music from it was superb, at least for the time -- probably still. I think I played a lot of Wing Commander with it.
Later I got a Sound Canvas, which I on-sold to a musical friend of mine. I think he got the MT-32 too. He used to have a Gravis which I lusted after somewhat, particularly because of the Gravis-only demos of the time.
I should see if he still has any of that old stuff. He's a bit of a pack rat simply because he's always too busy to sort anything out.

How would you go about dumping the SE ROM? Is that a board that plugs into
one of the two expansion slots? Are the ROMs on the board socketed so you
could remove them and read and dump them? Assuming that would be possible,
I wonder what it would take to build a new board with the same functionality
and ROM images.
I have two IPCs, but no SE ROM for either. I have the BASIC ROM daughter
board for the HP-UX ROM board for one of them, but not the other. I was
going to try to come up with a way to dump the BASIC ROM, but never really
got started with that project.

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone shed some light onto the possible value of
the following computers:
Tandy 1400LT portable computer (2 floppy drives &
case)
Tandy 1000TX (20MB hard drive)
Both are in excellent working order and would love to
know the collectability and value of them.
Thanks for the help.
- Anthony

I have a MPU-IPC-T Midi Processing Unit available. I believe this is mpu 401
compatable. I was going to put it up on Ebay but would rather see it go to
someone here on the board. It contains the box, the 8 bit card, original
manual and packaging. The receipt is still in the box and it shows a retail
price of $119. It was used only a couple of times and is in excellent
condition. If you would like more info or pics email me at
trestivo(a)tarinc.com. Make an offer.

Anyone interested in what Duncan has? The Decision Mate V is a Z80-based
machine that typically ran CP/M. I am pretty sure he's talking about an
IBM 5150 and not 5100. At any rate, contact him directly.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have some NCR machines that may be of interest. 2 PC6 machines which are
8088's. Also, two Decision Mate V machines with Memory Add-on to total 128K
of base memeory and External Hard Drive, FH 10Mb Segate I believe. Further,
I believe I have two old IBM orginal PC's, 5100's sound right. One of them
has an add-on board to upgrade it to an 80386 chip. Beyond that, I have a
mirad of memory boards, IO boards, etc. If any is of interest to you and
your organization, please contact me, as I am thinking of throwing them out.

I see these on the LEM Swap list from time to time... usually for about
$100 or less. They don't seem to be anywhere near as valuable as one
might think. In most cases they are in working order when offered
(although its not too unusual to see them offered with a dead battery)
