Jay and others -- last year I stayed at the Comfort Inn, at 1561 West El Camino
Real, in Mountain View. It wasn't exactly luxorius (no restaurant, though
there are a million places to eat on El Camino), but it was cheap, had
high-speed Internet, and was very convenient to the CHM (where VCF is).
My favorite amenity: there is a movie-theatre style hot popcorn machine in the
lobby, and the popcorn is free.
Of course if Sellam gets us a discount rate at a Marriott, such as at VCF East,
I imagine that would be much nicer than the Comfort Inn...
Hi,
Sorry to post off topic, but I'm in a bit of a bind...
Anyone in the Westchester/Putnam area have a spare UV Eraser that they could either loan or trade with me??? I have a project I need to work on and my UV eraser has completely up and died, looks like the transformer and I really need to update some eprom's to complete code testing for work.
I a spare VT320, a vaxstation, Atari PC-1 computer, Odyssey2 Video game console and several other items I'd be willing to do a trade for, I also have some tape drives, cd-roms drives and token ring equipment, SCSI cards, older ISA ethernet adapters and so forth if anyone is interested, please contact me off-list if you can help me out, thanks much!

Spoke too soon... two newly-registered zero-feedback bidders have run the
price up to nearly $2000. Bugger that for a game of soldiers - I smell a
rat!
If anyone else wants to risk getting ripped-off, feel free. I'm outa here.

I have one of these, unused(!) from a gov't auction (a
spare, I think). I played with it a little, and then
it stopped working but it might have been something I
screwed up with a DIP switch. I have the entire unit
with keyboard, manuals, etc; in storage, one of the
caster legs broke. If someone actually wants (parts)
of this, I would trade/sell it for a little more than
shipping (it's really big and its impossible to ship
the monitor or whole thing); otherwise, I was planning
of getting rid of all of it in the fall. It has no 8"
drives, just the housing. Wow-it's an incredible,
overdesigned machine, with a fairly interesting
automatic convergence system. For what it does, it's
too large for me!

Hi please reply as to yes/no availability.
Thanks

C-64 Speech synthesizer cartridge - $5 each
"Voice Messenger", by Currah Technologies. I have 2 of these,
still shrinkwapped. Uses a hardware synthesizer chip (SSI263??),
and has an extension ROM that adds speech functions to the built-in
BASIC. The first buyer gets a free light pen that plugs into the
joystick port, but has no docs or software unless I get a surprise
while sorting through my old files. My recollection is that there's
a photodiode in it that generates an interrupt when the CRT beam
sweeps past it.
I live about 10 miles south of TF Green airport just off of I-95. If you
are interested in some free Sun Microsystems SS-10s, IPC, IPX, or LX
systems let me know.
