Classic Computer Auctions List

They have no basis in relevant Actually, it's _not_ undue inflation. The prices are always dependant on what people ask, and if there's only one vendor, the price will be whatever he damn well wants. The obvious solution is to flood the market with cheap classic computers. Wasn't there someone here who had 80 C-64s in his garage?

I have a few systems here running several different version of RSX11M+ and have some spare disk drives that I could load just about anything you wanted to retrieve. Then copy it back in many different formats including 4 or 8MM. Dan Burrows

HP1000 classic?

by cmcmanis＠freegate.com

There were a couple of HP1000 systems at the Berman auction this week, both went for $100. One had the equivalent of an RK05 in the rack. There was also a rack with an Intel 80/10 multibus system but it was just the chassis and a multibus memory card, no CPU. I actually won an auction on a SCSI 9-track tape drive (with external terminator). It is marked "5170" on the front. It is a rack mount, front loading, horizontal feed device. It claims it can do 6250 BPI. We'll see. Now to see about a program that can dissect RSX-11M BRU format tapes. --Chuck

I'd prefer not to dismantle this thing :) If it's of any interest, there is a BK-0010 (I think that's what is is anyway) emulator for Amiga computers. It's on Aminet, I think the filename has "bkemul" in it. From memory, it comes with some software incl. a Lode Runner type game. -- Mark [Off-topic: I am trying to get hold of data sheets for the following chips: Fujitsu MB86507; Fujitsu MB86312; TI TLS1044 or TLS1043; NEC uPD4216160. *Please* contact me if you have any of these!]

And now the fine print... [Re: Alto II (was Re: PDP-8 prices...)]

by joe＠barrera.org

>Well, I'm not coming to VCF, but if I was, what would the rule be for me? >Build a PERQ from a bucket of sand ? Jeez, you want everything done for you, don't you? You get an empty bucket, a pair of plastic chopsticks, and access to a beach. You can use all the sand you can get into the bucket using the chopsticks. Improper use of the chopsticks (as judged, subjectively, by Sam) results in having your bucket emptied. Any questions?

Televideo 802 computer?

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

George, Are you talking about the 802 (which someone said is a terminal) or are you talking about the computer? (model number ???) If you mean the computer then I listed it but I wasn't offering. It's still at the store. I was hoping they might turn up the computer. If you need a copy, I'll see about getting it and making you a copy. If I don't find the computer sooner or later then you may end up with the original. If you mean the terminal manual then it's also still at the store but I don't want it so if you do then let me know and I'll see about getting it for you.

OT: SoCal TRW Swapmeet

by jpl15＠netcom.com

Another month whizzes by! But, what fun! The TRW Ham Radio Swapmeet is this Saturday, 30th January, at the TRW Facility in El Segundo, CA.. from 07:30 until 11:30 hours PST. Any Classicmp denizens who will be in/around the SoCal area on saturday are invited to attend. Afterward, I am planning on brunch at the local eatery, right after Marvin gets done taking 1st place in the ham transmitter hunt contest. (again) Anyone interested in getting together at/after the Meet, or who wishes to use one of my two prime spaces to sell some Vintage Computer gear.. respond by private e-mail for further info. Or, on second thought... never mind. There's never any Good Gear there, anyway... nothing at all. Please sleep in. Wash the car. Walk your ferrets... I want all the Goodies for me...... :) Cheerz John
