Yesterday I drove about 250 miles (round trip) to get a small truckload
of old computers and parts. The partial list is below:
Various manuals including, but not limited to:
Teletek FDC-1, SBC-1, System Master, SBC 86/87 guides and others
Digital Research Assembler and Tools manual, Macro Assembler Manual and
Link-80 manual
Turbodos (various manuals)
Lync Telecom (Manuals, disk, etc.)
Peak 68K S-100 card docs

Western Digital FDC 1771m 1791 datasheets

Jameco JE664 EPROM Programmer Manual
Solid State Music PBI and IO4 Manuals
Heathkit H-88 Operators Manual
Godbout/Compupro Product User Manuals 1975-1980 (bound)
A variety of N* manuals including MDS-A and MDS-A-D, DOS, System SW and
others
Zilog 82/83 data book
ST506 OEM and Service manuals
Books including:
TV Typewriter Cookbook (from Radio Shack)
Intro to Microcomputers (1976 - Osborne)
Z-80 How To Program - Zaks
8088/8086 programming - Cofferton
Tons of disks (at least 100 each of 5.25" and 8" and a hand full of
3.5") including:
Minix on 5.25
Turbodos Boot, etc.
Basic/C-basic versions
Sourcer 5.25
Modula-II 5.25
Turbo-Pascal 5.25 and 8"
OS-88 5.25 (about 15-20 disks)
CP/M (8")
3 S-100 computers
1 tall rackmount chassis with 2 8" drives and 1 Hard Drive
1 shorter rackmount chassis with 2 8" drives but no cards
1 shorter rackmount with 1 N* 5.25" and several cards
About 6-10 loose S-100 cards including IMS 8K and 4K RAM, a partial
populated 86/87 card and a few others.
Other machines
1 Heathkit H-19 terminal in good condition
1 Zenith H-88 or H-89 equivalent, beat to piss but maybe reparable.
2 AT class (I think) clones.
Misc:
Some DC300XL tapes
A pile of MM5257N-3 parts (I have no idea what they are)
Lantastic-Z package with cables, software, docs, etc.
A really neat National Semiconductor Series 32000 kit including docs,
spec sheets, data sheets and some chips.
I even got a nearly full box of Greenbar
I haven't had a chance to clean or power up any of the machines, nor
have I really looked at all of the disk labels to see what software
there is. All that will take some time.
Once I do that I'll just have to figure out what to do with everything!
