Here are a few extra things I need to part with to make space:
1) TI-99/4A, silver/black, with power supply. No RF modulator. works
great....$15 + shipping
2) Amiga 1000, main unit only..no keyboard. Bad floppy and missing the cover
which goes over the RAM expansion on the front of the unit. Also is missing
the 68000 CPU. This system is said to have worked ok, but I bought it for
it's keyboard and it is just sitting here. I really hate to trash it, so
anyone who is interested can have it for the cost of the shipping. An
interesting thing about it is that it, like all A1000's, has the underside of
the upper casing 'signed' by all it's designers, including Jay Miner.

Supra sold a 5-1/4" floppy drive for the Atari ST that would hold 10meg on
a disk, though the drive used a laser to track the head position, and the
disks were special and had special markings on them to allow the laser to
track where it was on the disk. I had one of these drives at one point, but
could never locate any disks for it.

What are "hard-sector" disks? Not the same as a 5.25 floppy?

hard sewctore means that there are 13? holde in the disk for the drive led
to read to determine where a sector starts. A soft sectore disk hs one hle
(like the IBM type disks used today. A popular user of hard sector disks
was NorthStar Computers.

Seriously?
Your regular poster, Larry Anderson, was originally looked upon with
suspician because he had an Amiga in addition to his C=64's and PET's.
Time proved his sincere appreciation of classic models. HE's in his
30's, my age can't be taken seriously.

I recently came across a picture of a Atari Microbox on a Classic Computing
homepage and was wondering if anyone was lucky to come across any of the
prototypes in their travels. Any info would be appreciated,

When I first broached the idea of making my palmtop talk to a PC JR keyboard,
someone on this list mentioned they knew where to find the keyboard codes the
Peanut keyboard generates. Since I've had no luck finding this data in web
searches, could that someone please let me know where to find this info?
