PERQ 1 Wanted

Good luck -- you'll need it. A number turned up about 15-20 years ago, but I've not heard of any coming out of the woodwork since. All that I know of are in good homes... [Incidetnalyl, why not make it really difficult and ask for a PERQ 2T4 ;-)) Do you require a PERQ 1, or would a 1A do (the latter looks the same, it has the 16K WCS processor board (which has a few more microsinstruction phrases too). It was a common field upgrade to put a 16K board in place of the 4K WCS board in a PERQ 1, so finding a genuine PERQ 1 is going to be rather difficult. I asusme a later PERQ 2 machine is not waht you're looking for at all (it's a very simialr machine with rather better I/O (In particular you cna downolad and run code on the Z80A I/O processor, the PERQ 1/1A CIO board only runs the code in the ROM). But they do look very different. Not that I have any of said machines for sale.... If you do find one, feel free to ask me what to do before moving it. The PERQ 1 (14" Shugart SA4000 hard disk) and PERQ 2T1 (8" Micropolis 1203 hard disk) need to have the heads locked before moving the machine. -tony
