IBM 1500 [was RE: Vintage Computer Warehouse Liquidation]

The 1500 I worked with at the University of Texas School of Education was based on an 1800 (which is of course the same architecture as the 1130, but in highboy industrial cabinetry rather than a desk. Coursewriter II and APL\1500 for the educational software, FORTRAN II and assembler for background tasks. Rich

Coleco & Atari

by c.murray.mccullough＠gmail.com

I came across an old copy of Popular Science on yesterday, forthwith I know not how, that had a story of two vintage/old/retro/classic-computers. How old? 1983. Coleco ADAM, my favourite, and Atari 600XL, not so much. I still have my ADAM. No not why. But isn?t this why we all belong to classiccomp. And $600. How quaint! BTW(sorry), it had an update on CP/M called CP/M Plus. Gosh, I miss those old days. Happy computing all.

Philips mini computers

by nico＠farumdata.dk

Hi all, Back in the 70's and 80's Philips had a quite popular series of mini computers called P800, which also branched out to the PTS series and possibly other. Could I be lucky to find other list members interested in these products? I know of a few, but there surely must be others. I'm trying to collect what is left of the documentation. 73, Nico

Looking for Silent 700 parts

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

I'm still looking for a Silent 700 printhead with all the pixels working. And three keyswitches (or a complete keyboard, doesn't have to be all there or working). thanks Charles -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
