Yeah, but I not a big fan of the MacOS; and since i can download a more
updated OS version, I figured i might as well give it a shot.
experimentation is the best part :)

Yeah, it runs pretty well w/ 52mb of ram, although i can think of better
places to put it....

Need at least one SIMM memory for a Compaq 286SLT notebook/laptop in
either 1, 2 or 4 mb. These are special types that plug in and have the
card edge plug to one side. Direct email if you may have something.

It's an Apple IIc clone, and very similar to it. It has one Apple II
compatible slot on the left side. Laser was the only company which
actually made legal Apple II clones and withstood Apple's lawyers.

this machine is essentially an apple //c compatible. the keyboard sucks, but
has the same function as a //c. the machine also has an expansion slot on the
left to which an apple card can plug into, although it was not designed for
it. i once ran a disk controller card in it without problems. make sure you
get the power supply. ive been told the //c ps was equivalent though. the
machine supposedly was 99% apple compatible which was true since i never could
connect to aol when they still supported apple. i had to borrow a friend's //c
to logon.

If I ever get the time, I want to do a custom paint job on my SE/30.
Remember the fighter planes of WW2 that had the mouth/teeth/eyes painted on
the nose? You get the picture... :)

I was peeking into the Popular Science at the supermarket yesterday, and
I noticed a peculiar entry in "What's New": a computer shaped like a
black cube, the size of a NeXT cube, but balanced on one corner with
little feet supporting it. It's made of aluminum and is just a regular
PC. Next to it, it had an LCD panel and keyboard. The case was much
uglier than the NeXT, and I don't quite know the reason for making it a
cube - it doesn't support four motherboards or anything! Just thought
you people might be interested.

I've posted this before but the list occupants change so I'll see if I
can find a home again for it. Everytime I go to rework it to a CGA/EGA
cable I think that there's someone out there with a crap mono monitor on
a PCjr that would love to have an original PCJr Color Display. It's in
great shape and I don't have a Jr and haven't messed with one since
college a thousand years ago.
If anyone might be interested in negociating a fair trade of cash or PC
items that I can use in other machines drop me a note. PC Enterprises is
one of the few sources that still has "refurbished" PCJr Color Displays
and they want an outrageous $189 or so for one. I'd like to slap anyone
that would pay that in this stage of the Jr's...
Contact me direct if interested.
BTW....If anyone may be intertested in the Visual 102 with keyboard for
FREE (you pay the shipping) it's now LAST CALL before I strip the
goodies out of it and send it to computer and terminal heaven. Contact
me soon.

I have two box type units labeled as an HP9123D that appear to have two
3.5" type removable (floppy?) drives in each, with an HPIB bus connector
and a cable with a 5 pin DIN on the end. It also states that it's for
use only with the HP45849A. They're both complete and like new but I
have no equipment to test them with. I know HP stuff is expensive even
when used and these aren't all that old by their looks and styling so
they should make some HP owner very happy. I have no use for them but
yet I would hate to dismantle them or dump them.
Anyone know what these are exactly and would anyone be interested in the
wo of them, maybe a trade or something?
Email direct if interested in them.
