Weekend acqusitions and horny dilemmas...

(...or should that be: "on the horns of a dilemma?") A VERY good weekend, with the possble exception of the 'Digi-Comp' that got away (at least for the present...) Santa dropped a whole back seat full of assorted S-100 boards and such my way (and I drive a Suburban, so I've got a BIG back seat!) Some assembled units and a number of unassembled (!) kits, some still in the original shrinkwrap/baggies! Now the dilemma: in trolling thru the garage archives (read that: rack shelving) recently, I came across my collection of Cromemco games (on paper tape) for Altair (or similar), Dazzler, D+7A, and joystick. All of which I have in the collection except for the joystick. I've got the docs on it, just not the physical unit... Until now... And there you have the dilemma - the Cromemco joystick is one of the (pristine) unassembled units that came in the stack! So now, do I follow my initial thot of building/adapting a joystick to play the games, or warm up the soldering iron and assemble the Cromemco unit? (which would complete the original configuration) Sigh... And then there is the LOCI-2 and it's 'bed of nails' card reader... (LOgarithmetic Computing Instrument I'm told) ...and the... Heath H-10!!! (hah!! I finally got one!) <BIG GRIN> All of these decisions just before I start my Christmas vacation... -jim --- jimw(a)agora.rdrop.com The Computer Garage - http://www.rdrop.com/~jimw Computer Garage Fax - (503) 646-0174
