Going to recycle - Tandy MMPC Model 10. Looks like a pretty plain 486sx
desktop. Does anyone want it or parts of it? Reply off-list to "martinm"
at the domain "allwest.net". I'm in the US at 82930.
Thank you,
Martin Marshall
Someone on comp.os.cpm pointed this out. I don't recall anyone doing so
here. http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/. Mmm... Fond memories of when
Radio Shack didn't stink.

Bit of trivia. That tuner was designed and built in Milwaukee by a
company that a friend of mine worked for. At the time, several of
his friends built units up from leftovers from the production run.
The TrackStar has been claimed. I working out who's on first.

I co-manage a gaming center in the mall up here in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
I've started setting up a couple older computers around the store as
some sort of mini-museum, to try teach the kids that there was indeed
something before Halo and WoW.
My latest setup is a Power Mac 5500/225, with copies of the old Carmen
Sandiego games, and Oregon Trail, and all those other fun things I
grew up on. Only problem is that the computer has 48MB of RAM, when it
could take up to 128MB, assuming I can lay my hands on the right
sticks of RAM.
Which is the point of this message! If anyone has a couple of 64MB
DIMMs (LowEndMac says the computer wants it in a 60ns EDO flavor), I'd
be much obliged if we could work out some sort of deal. If there's
something one of you are looking for, I'm sure we could figure out
something. I'm sure I have at least a gigabyte of the stuff somewhere
in St. Louis, but that's enough hours away that it's not worth it at
the moment. Thanks, folks!

Here's one that I'll never get around to:
Diamond TrackStar 128K board for PC, PC/XT, Tandy 1000 SX. This is an
add-in board to run Apple II, etc software on a PC. In original box with
original 5 1/4" disk and everything that I could scarf off the net in 2001 -
2002. Has cables, etc.

What type of 3.5" floppies are people using in their Cats? Would off-the-shelf
double-density suffice? Any special preparation required?

Hi all --
Got myself a Seiko UC-2000 ("Wrist Information System") w/UC-2200
keyboard/terminal. The UC-2000 is a souped-up digital watch with a
dot-matrix display, and the Keyboard unit is basically a computer that
uses the watch as a display. (So it's more or less like the old
Sharp/Casio BASIC programmables, only it uses a watch for a display
instead of something built-in...)
But the watch itself is _also_ a small computer -- one can upload small
binary programs from the Keyboard unit to the watch. From the little
information I've been able to find, it has 2k of RAM, 7k of ROM, and a
4-bit CPU running at 32kHz (yes, kHz). Does anyone know anything about
the CPU? It'd be fun to write some little programs for this (assuming I
can work out how to get them transferred over...)
(See http://www.pocketcalculatorshow.com/nerdwatch/fun2.html for a brief
description of the UC-2000 and others in the same family...)
