Are you looking for a Workslate? I have an original from December 92 with
several SW cartridges, printer, modem
in original state.

Hi
I like postal money orders sent by US mail. If the
seller doesn't send the item or misrepresents the item
it is mail fraud. A simple message or two about bringing
the postal office into the action brings quick results.

If you're planning to exhibit at VCF 8.0 on November 5-6, now would be a
good time to register ;)

I'm slowly building a collection of various boot/system disk images,
which can be found in the "Disks/Software images" area near the bottom
of my main page. As long as Rob (the guy hosting the site and a fellow
collector) continues to let me increase my space usage, I will continue
to add to it.
I'd be happy to work with others wishing to build up this or another
archive.
Regards,
Dave

Send him an email. I do this all the time when I spot transputer
hardware/software on ebay regardless if I bid on it or not. I email the
winner and he gladly sends me copies (I also do this with the seller as
well)....

Ouch is right but based on a follow-up post from Jim, his servers are

Hi Pat,
My Altos586 is in the same boat as Scotts - it boots OK from the hard drive,
but I don't have install media should I ever need to rebuild it. The one disk
I have on my site was "stuffed into the drive" when I got it, but I don't
think it's enough to reinstall the system.
Please let me know if you locate the Altos install disks - I'd also be happy
to include the images in my archive if thats OK with you.
Regards,
Dave

Hi
They do claim that they will investigate any claims
of mail fraud. That goes both ways. They like to
know about counterfeit MO's. One rule is to never except
a money order for more than the sale value.
There is no reason the buyer can't make it for the exact
amount. Also, if a seller, only except postal money orders.
It is not that it offers any more protection it is just
that the PO gets more excited if there is a counterfeit
postal money order.
I don't expect that the PO would correctly handle a refund,
I just expect that the seller would think twice about
a federal crime as compared to a state law. Postal money
orders sent through the mail are federal issues.
The only other thing I don't like about postal money orders
is that they are real slow about checking to see if the
money order has been cashed. You'd think with the current
day computers, it should be an on line operation, taking
seconds.

Anyone who may be interested (not mine) there is an SWP ATR8000 computer
up on Ebay, I noticed it has a Co-Power-88 adaptor board on it, which
allowed it to run both CP/M and (Limited) MS-DOS based programs. It
has a nice pair of 5.25" disk drives with it. The ATR-8000 is also a
peripheral for Atari 800 home computers and allows them to use its ports
for printer, modem and standard disk drives (as well as being able to
mix Atari SIO disk drives with its standard disk drives) Its a nice
unit. I have several, including one of the only ATR8500's ever
made. If anyone bids and wins, contact me off list as I can provide
copies of all of the manuals for the ATR8000 and the Co-Power-88 as
copies of the SWP utility disks and CP/M 22 and DOS 2.1 disks in Atari
format to boot it up.
