Osborne

Hi Guys: I have just aquired an Orborne-I, built on 10/17/82. The thing seems to be complete, but no line cord. Cosmetically, she's in fair shape, but been around the block a few times: scuffs, velcro stuck to the case, etc. The only major thing wrong is that one of those cheesy plastic latches that holds the cover / keyboard in place is broken off. I fired her up, but without a boot disk, I could not tell if it is 100% functional or not. The sign on screen comes up on the WHITE crt, informs me that it has firmware ver 1.44, and requests I hit RETURN to boot up. Since I mostly specialize in SS-50 and some obscure Commodore-related hardware, this is a bit outside my scope of interest (but I know a true classic when I see one). If anyone is interested in this truly historic (if a bit worn) piece of cyberbilia, please contact me via e-mail. All I'm asking for it is what I paid for it (about $10) plus shipping. Thanks.
