I personally would like a printer for every machine in my system if one was
made for it and it works.
Sinclair1500, Atari, 400,800xl, 1200xl, C64, TandyColor/2 Tandy Model4, and
almost every apple made.

I know where you can get a BioRythm, but not if you want to pull the
chip out...

If you're speaking of the venerable HP2645 terminal, I know it had a Z80 in
it. (And some people did rig it up as a crude CP/M machine.) Dunno about
the 8008 though...

I agree completely. I would be willing to go pick up stuff headed for the
dump and hold it till someone could make space for it. My house only has
room for a small select few computers, but I could make room in storage
until shipping could be arranged. We ought to make this like a Mr. (or Ms.)
Rescue for classics. When the list is started, put me down for the Austin,
TX area.

As of right now, the only thing on my calendar for Saturday is Flag day (and
I don't own a flag.) If I can keep that open, and convince my girlfriend
