Allison,
I'll be there too. Maybe we can talk about S-100 cards then. :)

Please, dont say that... all my net access is using slip (actaully slirp).

It was a failure because MITS as per their style had a nifty box that
not SS50. By that time SWTP and others had accepted SS50 as the bus for
6800 and later 6809 systems.
The 680 however was without question industrial strength but it's bus
was totally unique to the 680, that type of this was VERY unpopular
concept back then.

I saw a Tandy 1000 HX at a local once a year flea market friday and was
wondering if the expansion cards it uses (non-standard) are hard to come
by. I'd like to get it and use it as a dial-in terminal with either a 300
or 1200 baud modem, whatever is available. This is one of the one-piece
1000s, and there's no RS-232 port, or DIN serial port connector on it, just
joysticks, ext. floppy, and printer connector, the last two are edge-type
connectors.
Maybe I'll pick it up tomorrow. I love these yearly Hospice Flea Markets:
Everything starts off at full price, Friday and Saturday. Sunday, all the
prices drop by 50%, Monday, you give them a few bucks, and they'll let you
cart off anything that is left. I hope the tradition still stands this
year. I saw a Timex Sinclair 1000 (black, mebrane keyboard) along with some
cassettes and mem expansion boxes for $5.00. If it's still there, I might
pick it up if someone wants it. (What?!? He's not putting it on ebay to get
$500.00 bucks for it? Is he crazy???) Yes I are!

I plan to be at the MIT FLEA sunday the 16th, with loads of goodies for
older systems and a stack of vax 3100s.
Also over the weekend I scored a pair of compupro boxes one with 8085/8088
and the other 68000 based.
Also a heath HW207 8" disk (dual drive)
pragmatic designs 20mb sa4000 style disk
Hard disks mfm
software, software, software and manuals.
enough Compupro boards to build another three systems
A few intergrand disk boxen
some DD DS 8" drives
8" 2S Media!
A few Telvideo 9xx series terminals.
If people need DOCs for compupro boards (ANY!!!) I have docs for them
and a few others.
Also I have a line on a ANADEX wide platen (15") printer that has
serial/parallel interface. I have to many already. It's a nice one if
you need something that takes wide paper. Not shipable (cheaply that
is, as it would have to be crated to assure "arrive alive".) It's not
that heavy but large.

No, I'm not talking about Ebay prices.
Instead I thought you might be interested
in seeing an original Altair Price list
>from July,1976. Here's the link to a jpeg of it...
http://home.att.net/~rwood54741/25.jpg
We have heard that the 680 was a failure
because the 16k memory card for it cost more than
the computer. Take a look at this list and you
will see it in black and white. The 680 computer kit
cost $466 ($625 assembled). The 16K memory card cost
a staggering $685 as a kit and $865 assembled. That
is a whopping $43 per 1k of memory.

Hmmmm, now this sounds ponentially very cool! According to the Field Guide
this is a "Dilog ST-506 emulation of four RL01/02". Any one have info on
this, and will it work in a system that has actually RL02 drives attached?
It would make it a lot easier to get data on to the Hard Drive if I can
just copy it from a RL02 to a fake RL02.
What kind of Hard Drives will work with it?
Is there any kind of setup for it? There is a funky 20-pin connecter
marked J3 that might be for jumpers or a ribbon cable though I don't really
want to try to attach a ribbon cable to it, as it's rather wierdly attached.
Does it have any kind of boot ROMs? Any idea on how well it would co-exist
with a DQ606?
How well do Boards with Boot ROMs co-exist with systems with another set of
Boot ROMs? I'm threatening to throw the DQ606 in the 11/23 that I'm
working on, so I can access the rack of drives that go with the controller.
Well, I'm off to work on archiving some RX-50 floppies prior to actually
trying to use them. Hopefully they're readable! So this should be a break
in my steady stream of questions :^)

Uhh, what's the web??? :) Didn't think about doing a search, because of the
age of the disks (1990). Will see what I find.
