IMSAI / SOL-20 / Northstar + much other for sale

I'm cleaning out my warehouse. The wife and I are tired of living on the houseboat, and are converting everything to cash. To that end, I'm offering all my vintage computer gear in a single block sale. If you want more detail on a specific item, email me. Most of this gear hasn't been powered up in some time, although all the stuff I originally owned was shut down in working condition. The other gear has never been powered up by me, but the original owners all swear it was working when they decommissioned it. Take that at whatever value you will. Entire lot for $5000, you pick it up. The list (to the best of my knowledge) IMSAI, 22 slot, front panel. 8mhz Northstar Z80 CPU card 64K static RAM card Tarbell DSDD disk controller 4 port serial card 256K dynamic RAM disk 2 Qume Datatrak-8s in separate enclose with PS Metric buttload of software This was my baby for the longest time. I learned C, Pascal, assembler, PL/M, PL/1 and a few other languages on this thing. Was running fine when it was shut down. Lots of documentation, original CP/M 2.2 manuals, etc. It's been a good while since it was powered up, and frankly, I'm a little paranoid about hurting it. I don't have the time or equipment to condition the caps. The diskettes have been in storage, in sleeve, in their original Maxell hard boxes, in another box. I'd hope they'd still be readable. I've heard different stories about coervicity loss. SOL-20 I believe there is a card in the card slot, but not sure. This was given to me by a friend. It's in excellent condition. There may be one key that's stuck, I don't remember. I've never fired it up. There's a 9" B&W monitor that goes with it. Northstar CPU, RAM, disk controller, some other cards. Recently acquired. I've never powered this one up. NO COVER! Single 5.25" drive, density not known. I don't have any software for this machine. There may be a notebook of docs for it. Looks a little rough, maybe a good cleaning will help. Zenith Z-100 I think that's the model number. Integrated display, keyboard, disk. Single 5.25" disk, density unknown. Outside of case grubby, will probably clean up nicely. Inside is very clean. Recently acquired, never powered up by me. Altair 8800 16 slots (4 x 4 card boards), NO ALTAIR CASE. Several cards in the chassis, several say Altair. Recently acquired, never powered up by me. Homebrew front panel, PS. Generic S-100 system 12 or 16 slots, large power supply, 6 or 7 cards in the system. No idea on this one. Recently acquired, never powered up. 14 or 16 S-100 cards. Cromemco Dazzler, bunch of Econoram cards, some ones I don't recognize. There's docs in some of the note books that may be applicable. 2 Apple IIes, 1 Apple II(something, 'c', maybe?) At least two are in near pristine shape, two still in original boxes, I think. I know one is. I think there might be a fourth Apple in there somewhere. Also at least 1 dual 3.5" drive, 4 or 6 5.25" Disk IIs. Original Apple green monitor, may be flakey (didn't look right, but it was running on a generator at the time). Powered up recently. 2 Otrona Attaches I believe both have 8086 cards with 256K, too. One is black. One has an occasional video problem, the other is pretty solid, as I recall. Both have dual drives, probably 720Ks. I don't have much software, but people on the list do. Powered up recently. 3 to 5 Sinclair ZX-81s Cute little machines. I don't know what I have in the way of accessories. A couple were powered up. Probably a cassette drive in there. Seems like I have a printer adapter for one, although maybe that's for the C-64, don't remember. Commodore 64 C-64 with a handful of accessories, carts, etc? At least one disk drive, maybe 2. Joysticks. Some other stuff. VIC-20 Maybe. I thought I bought one, it's likely in one of the bins. 3 daisy wheel 14" wide printers At least one Qume or Diable, the other look like knockoffs. All have tractors for them. Hard disk 5.25" hard drive. Size unknown, 10MB? This was with one of the S-100 systems, dunno which one. Part of the recently acquired lot. Assorted anything's that go with all this stuff. Basically, if it's vintage, and it's not 1802 based, it's yours with the deal. This stuff is in boxes and scattered amongst 5 or 6 18 gallon bins. There's about 10 6" thick notebooks of paperwork. I haven't had a chance to go through it. --jc
