Hi Marvin
If you come across one of the small serial cards, I'm
looking for one for my Poly88. It doesn't need parts, just
the board would be great.
Have you been able to get a Poly 88xx system up and running
yet? If not, you should still bring a controller card, cables
and drives for the 8 inch setup. I think I have the 5-1/4"
setup covered. I'll blow some ROMs with the updates to handle
the 8 inch drives.
I'll be heading out soon and won't be on the net again until
Monday.

With VCF comming up in about 8 days, I am planning on bringing a bunch
of stuff up there to get rid, er, sell :). In that vein, is there
anything special those of you who will be attending are looking for? My
plan is to reduce my collection to things that are primarily in the 70's
to very early 80's, and I will mostly concentrate on CP/M and S-100
systems.
Things I have that are not in my area of interest or expertise include:
SparcStatation2 w/ external CD-ROM, Color Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse,
Working
Wang computer (don't remember model), about 10"w x 24"h x 30"d.,
untested
Xerox computer, Model 8???, w/ monitor/keyboard. About the same size as
the Wang, untested
Phillips computer, about 24"w x 24"h x 30"d w/ 8" drive(s), untested
Make a reasonable offer, but I won't be bringing the above stuff unless
someone wants it!
As usual, I'll post a link to the list of stuff that I'll be bringing
up.
