So now that I know there is no mystery hard drive for
my 5110... I have
to give some thought to if I want to sell the system. With this recent
eBay fever over things like a TRS-80, I am pondering if I can get a
pretty penny from my 5110. I could REALLY use the money towards a house
purchase. (I've got the 5110 with both Basic and APL, a large assortment
of manuals, a few tapes with software on them, and the 5114 floppy drive
unit. I should also have a printer around, but I can't say for sure if
the printer is still operational). Time to do some hunting on the
possible value... and if that value is enough for me to part with it (it
holds a bunch of sentimental value to me, as it was one of the first
computers I ever played with... possibly THE first, I'd have to compare
timelines against the Apple II I used in the late 70's)

With APL you'll probably get $1500-$2000 for the lot, and likely more if you
sell the pieces separately. I, for one, would bid on the 5114 separately as I
need one, but not the 5110.
