14. OSI CIII
*There*'s one I'd consider renting. The shipping would be a killer. I had
a family friend when I was a kid that had one of these at home. ISTR it around $8-$10K, loaded. I did some BASIC and assembler
on the 6502 side.
I also have a few extra 510(I think) boards with the 3 mp's that would go in
alot of other OSI stuff, so maybe shipping what ya need can be
customized/economized...
What are your terms? Would you consider "payment
in kind" in the form of
an equipment exchange?
Wonderful idea!
Also... consider writing up a formal contract that
spells out rights and responsibilities, especially for loss or damage. I'm
not so much concerned that the people on this list will try and rip you
off,
but if an insurance claim ever needs to be filed due to
fire, theft, etc.,
the renter's insurance company will be more likely to honor the claim if
there's a paper trail establishing liability (take it from someone who has
had to seek coverage of stolen classic computers - two PETs and an Amiga).
Yup, good ideas too. can anyone suggest other items needing covered?
And, I'm located in Florida, USA. So, maybe if others (like Sellam (nudge))
also offer items, shipping can be arranged from the closest offerer...
