I seem to remember there was a single Nixie tube for sale on Haggle.com... for around $3.00 or so (at the time...) Don't they run on 170 volts or somesuch wild figure??? "Merch"

I just try to get any information - and 22 years are a long time ago. I also have some considerations about 'INTEL' - did they do it, or just a kind of lable hobo ? The mark used consists of all capital letters, while the upper bar of the T covers the whole word. Gruss Hans -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK

> [List is no longer being maintaied] > Ehehehehe... Anarchy! Nothing to laugh about. Anarchy works great. Take this list great people, great stuff - or take the Internet itself - beside some stupid gouvenment issues and some want-to-be-bosses its pure Anarchy - and great. Anarchie never ment to be without rules just without f****** rulers. Gruss Hans TBOTA: Does anybody remember a 'INTEL' video game ? I have aquired today a unit named 'INTEL UNIVERSAL TELE PLAY'. Acording to the chip dates the base unit (there is only the video logic and the connectors inside) must be manufactured around 1976. The two modules (here is the processor) I got, SUPERSTAR (a collection of Pong alikes) and TANK are from 1977 and 1978. The unit is very nicely, a plastic case with metall plates, 4 switches (on/of and 3 game dependant), a Start (Reset) Button and even a numeric keypad to select games. Funny numbering on the keypad: 159 260 37* 48= maybe taken from an old calculator. The base unit has a German/English mixture of labels, while the modules (cassetes) are only in english. -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK

Maybe I can dig up other parts over the next years. Wasn't the C4P Board already a complete computer ? At least thats what I remember. So adding a Terminal and a PSU might be a first step to check condition. Please tell me what you ask for it. Or tell me What kind of trade you might be interested.

PCjr with no disk drive?

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

hmmm, strange option, as i've seen every pcjr with a disk drive installed including the two i own. i guess it could still be useful with a floppy because you could always run those programs on cartridges. i have no idea why the ps/1 was announced after the ps2. perhaps was just an afterthought. i've had people actually think that the ps/1 was "better" than the ps/2 just because it was first. david In a message dated 10/28/98 9:07:44 PM US Eastern Standard Time, maxeskin(a)hotmail.com writes: > The disk drive was an option, like the hard drive on the XT.

If the total is less than $10 I'll airmail you a bill. (Checks wallet) Damn. No $10 bills. Oh well, we'll sort something out. Haven't got much else to use my US currency on, after all... Philip. PS Sorry about the null post. I double-clicked the Reply button and this awful mail software took that as one click on Reply and one on Send. :-( PPS shall we keep the noise down and conclude our bargain in private e-mails?
