Since I have never seen the 8800BT, I'm sure it is rare, at least he says a number of times that this stuff is RARE. Shipping and handling including insurance is only $100 plus the winning bid. However, it does have some good photos of the unit. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=35408024

Off-Topic Wierdness

Reading an article, it's not really a hoax. It's a partnership of crackpots. THOUGHT: "T=C * A * I(Squared)" Yeah, right! Get with the '90s!

Some "Classiccmp-Friendly" pinouts posted....

by aaron＠wfi-inc.com

After being frustrated trying to view some of the pinouts posted on the web with lynx (everyone using frames/tables/etc), I have created a shell-user-friendly pinout directory on my web server. I've got ~75 of 200 (give or take) up so far, and I'll be working on it for the next couple of weeks. http://www.prinsol.com/pinouts/ If you have the time and the giving spirit overcomes you, please share any that you find missing. Especially those from scarce/rare/unusual machines that might help someone who rescues one with no available documentation. And for God's sake, please let me know if I screwed up on any of these, before someone trusts my addled transcriptions and blows something up! Related, but a little more selfish, could someone give me the pinout for the HP-IB port? Aaron

Quick thrift run...

by aaron＠wfi-inc.com

A couple of quick snags from the local thrift: Wyse-60 terminal, no keyboard: $4.95 "Programming in Assembly: Macro-11", E. Sowell: $.50 Someone posted a couple of days ago that they got some Wyse keyboards? Anyone have an extra for the model 60 that I just got that they would part with for a few $$$? Aaron

They claim they had a windowing product in late '73/early '74 which is supposedly long before the Alto -- But I thought the Alto was earlier than that?

Commodore "PET 2001-8" Vintage Computer

Not to be bitching; but my email program; Microsoft Outlook, can't handle HTML messages; thus I get an attached text object that is very, very hard to decypher - on every single message from Marvin. (and others).

Right, I know other can. For me I just don't have an option to change.
