Received a nice addition to the collection today. An
OSI
Challenger 2P with a monitor and a LOT of cassette software. The
really nice part for me was the ton of documentation, newsletters
and books that came with it! Ok it isn't really a ton but it
sure felt like it when I carried it in from the car. Now to
spend time sorting and cataloging everything and checking out the system.
Congratulations! Curious about the monitor. Was it a converted TV
by any chance? If so, I'd be interested to know the make and model.
OSI showed converted TV sets as monitors in photos in several of their
ads and in drawings in their documentation but with no clear make or
model info. I have a couple of OSIs that I acquired with converted
TVs as monitors but they don't match the ad photos so I'm trying to
figure out whether they are "original".
Also, if you need tips, hints, schematics, etc., I have two working
2Ps, the complete schematics and an almost complete set of PEEK65.
Finally, when you get the chance, I'd like to compare your software
list with mine and maybe get/supply copies to fill both collections.
