Dear Jeff,
I have a Maxum 286 turbo computer, which was purchased at 47th Street
Photo in New York in the 1980's. I believe that Maxum was a 47th
Street Photo brand. It comes with a Maxum Enhanced keyboard and Amdek
Video 310A monitor, which has the amber letters. Word Perfect for IBM
is installed and some other programs. There is also an Epson LG 500
printer, which takes the paper with holes and also single sheets.
I probably have some of the literature too.
Although the computer was originally a 286, it stopped working at
some point. I was in graduate school at the time, and spent $900 to
get all my data back and installed on a new 386 drive. So it is now a
386.
The computer goes right on, powers up, and works perfectly. It also
works perfectly with the printer. This old computer was easier to
write on, and I think I did better writing on it, than the Macbook
Pro that I use now.
I hate throwing things out that still work, but these have to go. Are
you interested, or do you know anyone who may be?
Sincerely,
Edwina Williams
