BTW, speaking of Morrow stuff, I met a guy at the

Yeah, that's too high. I've got one with floppy/harddrive config and I
saw one the other day at a thrift store with the dual floppy config. I'm
going to get that one to use for parts since the one I have seems to have
a flaky power supply or something. When it's booting up the screen keeps
rolling and the system seems to keep resetting itself. It finally boots
after a while but the process is long and painful.
Convergent Tech Workslate, plus printer and
serial/parallel box,
condition uncertain. $26. Pricey but if I get it cleaned up and
working it could make a nice desk toy at the office. What sort of
power input do these things want?
I think you got the one that I kept passing up and was planning to get
the next time I got around to either Foothill or Las Positas. Damn!
