Sun people and keyboards

by zmerch-cctalk＠30below.com

Rumor has it that David Griffith may have mentioned these words: >Does anyone here have pull with Sun Microsystems or know someone who does? >I'm trying to get the right person jazzed up about the idea of a Type 7 >keyboard built like a Model M. I've already emailed clickykeyboards.com >about it and they'll do the engineering and design work for about $27k. A >Type 7 sells brand new for around $50. I'm sure people would be more than >willing to pay twice as much for a "Type 7m". How important are which features you want? If the "control key is in the right place" feature means a lot to you, you can have that now for only slightly more than Sun wants: http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/linux101.html Not sure if you can get these in USB, but a PS/2->USB adapter should fit the bill nicely. $70 (and I'll assume plus shipping.) They do have this layout with an integrated catstongue/j-stick/eraserhead/whateveryouwannacallit pointing device for $100. However, these don't have the "extra" keys down the left side of the keyboard. If that's what's most important to you, then that will indeed be exceptionally tough to find, IMHO.

Grid Compass 1109 Computer in Seattle WA area

by michaelgreen42＠comcast.net

Any interest in this? It's very old but outside of my normal collecting habits. The case is in good shape. It powers up but I get a boot error. The screen is also a bit fuzzy but I think just needs adjustment. If you're in the Puget Sound area (or don't mind paying for shipping). Going for the best offer of cash or trade.

Arcade games

by wgungfu＠uwm.edu

Philip - that's a little high for the current market. Maybe five years ago that'd be correct, but now Space Invaders is around US$500-700. A game like Battlezone or Asteroids should be more in the price range he's selling it for. Gottlieb was a major pinball manufacturer based out of Chicago, and since you didn't mention the actual name of the game I can't really judge if the price is fair or not. And yes, there's a longstanding collector and "in home" coin-op market, something we also cater to at the Midwest Gaming Classic event. Plenty of forums, web sites, etc. for the coin-op collecting scene as well. Google is your friend. ;) My guess is, there's someone in their scene right now asking if some amount is a fair price for a vintage computer system and if anyone collects that stuff. ;) Marty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Belben" <philip at axeside.co.uk> To: cctech at classiccmp.org Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 3:00:25 PM GMT -06:00 Central America Subject: Arcade games Just curious... There's a shop in Coalville, I'm not sure what it sells (maybe it sells games consoles; maybe it's an amusement arcade; maybe both). In the window this weekend were two machines that caught my eye: an original Space Invaders machine from 1978, priced at 895 pounds; and a pinball machine from 1979 (branded "Gottlieb") for an almost-as-unreasonable 495 pounds. (I think at current exchange rates that's about $1300 and $700 US) As I was walking home, failing to hum the Space Invaders song, I wondered what sort of an active market is there for such machines? The prices looked high enough that they must be aiming at serious collectors, or possibly innkeepers who want to create a retro-seventies atmosphere. So do people here know about the classic arcade game market? Are my neighbours of a couple of blocks away being overoptimistic with their prices? Philip. PS What I remember from the period was the many, many attempts to write Invaders-style games in BASIC on the PET and other home computers. And my friend Matthew, after we'd borrowed a Sinclair ZX81 and experimented for a week or two, shutting himself away and writing a quite good one for that machine in machine code - I helped with the BASIC shell that built the initial screen display. And wiring a phone earpiece to the PET user port to hear the sound effects on the Commodore invaders program. And so on... PPS has anyone preserved the Space Invaders song? I sincerely hope not.
