Big Want List

Hi, Sellam: Tell us more about this large project, especially if this equipment has to be in working condition or is just for display. Although I'm annoyed by people who say, "Gee, you should have asked me last week, I just threw out...", I'm afraid I did indeed scrap a Z2D (or equivalent), a 103, a Rainbow, a Spinwriter and most of a North Star. I do still have a CS-2 (Equivalent to a Z2D) with a TopHat (dual 8" floppy) and a BRZ-II fan system which fits underneath the CS-2, a System 3 (late model, single 8" drive & HD), several System 1's, and have access to several more System 3's, 100s, 300s and 400s as well as several boxes of cards, manuals, software and sales literature. Also a C-5 Terminal and, I think, most of a C-10. I've also got a few other miscellaneous terminals, Falcos and an ADM-11; what other "periperhals" are you looking for? I also have two Vector mz's, but no software or docs and I'm not sure I have all the cards; I loaded one with Cromemco cards and an MFM HD because it is easier to work on and quieter than the Cromemcos. Finally, I have 1.9 Hyperions (Hyperia?), (one missing the front cover), a user guide and various software diskettes but no other manuals. And of course I still have the various books & stuff that you and I talked about way back when. There are two problems however: some, if not all, of the Cromemco stuff is promised to Dan Cohoe (if & when I get around to sorting through it and getting as much as possible working), so you'd have to talk to him as well as me, and I really have no interest whatsoever in packing, crating and shipping this stuff from Toronto to California. So, if you're interested and have solutions to our problems, email me at mhscc(a)canada.com or phone me at 416-532-4322. Hope we can find a way to help you out at least a little bit. mike in Toronto (in the finally starting to warm up frozen north of Canada) ---------------------Original Message------------------- Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 12:13:08 -0800 (PST) From: Vintage Computer Festival <vcf(a)siconic.com> To: Classic Computers Mailing List <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org>rg>, Subject: Big Want List I'm working on a rather large project and am looking for the following computers and hardware: Cromemco Z2D (and periperhals) Cromemco System Three (and peripherals) Centronics printer (103 or any model) DEC Rainbow 100 (and peripherals) DEC Pro350 Heathkit H11 (and peripherals) Micro-Term ACT I (terminal) NEC SpinWriter NorthStar Dimension Ohio Scientific Challenger (any model, prefer II or III) OSM Zeus (any model) SWTPc 6800 (and peripherals) Vector Graphics (prefer MZ/2) Fortune Systems 32:16 Dynalogic Hyperion Corvus Concept (and peripherals) (Peripherals include monitors, keyboards, terminals, disk drives, hard drives, printers, etc.) I am also interested in any and all collateral material including: * System software (originals preferred) * Application software (originals preferred) * Manuals and schematics * Related magazines * Related books * Ephemera such as posters, buttons, mugs, etc. If you have anything on the above list please contact me with an asking price.
