Had a great time this morning at the TRW Swap meet.
John, Doug, Dave, and I
were there. The trip was rewarding, and lunch after was great. Doug found
an Basis 108 that he didn't want to take back, so it is now sitting on the
kitchen table (thanks Doug!) The others can comment on their "scored"
items. Nothing like a fun morning to start the weekend off properly!
Yup, the Basis was a very interesting machine and in like-new condition.
I'd never seen one before. Apparently a German Apple II clone with a Z80
in addition to the 6502 (from 1982).
I also picked up an Otrona Attache (at last!), a Vector Graphics box, a
Fujitsu Stylist 500, a near-new-in-box NEC PC-8500, and nabbed a few books
from John, who scored a few classic boxes.
Good company. Good scores. Good weather. What else could you ask for?
