Subject: Nabu Computers Available...
This might be of interest to somebody here (hopefully)...
Surplus Traders (
www.73.com) currently has 35 Nabu computers for
$29.00
a pop, plus shipping. Normally they do bulk sales,
but they will
sell
the Nabu individually. (Search for item CR356.)
I picked one up a while ago, and mine was still 'new', in the box,
with
a factory seal. Then again, since this surplus, it
might be best to
verify that the units are 'new' if that's important to you.
Can you post some picutures. I have a machine that the owner
mentioned was built by John kelly. My unit looks like it has tape
drives on the front (8 track?) and a serial port and baud rate switch
on the back. There are no labels or numbers on the outside of the box
so I'm thinking it was a prototype or unit build for internal
purposes. Last summer I had picked up a few prototype machines from
Bull before They were bought out by REBEL and are now bankrupt.
