"Allow myself to introduce... myself."

Hi there. My name is Jason Simpson. I'm a 25 year old Seattle-based geek that likes to scrounge around thrift stores looking for cool old technology. I've been collecting this stuff since I was 16. I've owned some of it since I was 13. Here's a brief summary of some of the things I own: Tandy Model 16 (dual 8" drives. I'd really like to run CP/M on this!) Tandy Model 4P (with flakey and ENORMOUS 5 meg harddisk) Tandy Model 100 (x2, one is broken) Tandy Micro Color Computer MC-10 (x2) Tandy Color Computer 3 (x3 or 4, at least one is broken, couple of disk drives) Tandy Pocket Computer (PC-1? broken/bad battery) Tandy PC-3 pocket computer (plus printer) Tandy PC-6 pocket computer Texas Instruments TI-74 BasiCalc pocket computer Casio FX-702P pocket computer (plus printer and cassette interface) Hewlett Packard 75C (broken/bad battery) DEC VT102 terminal DEC VT220 terminal Wyse 60 terminal Commodore 128 (broken, and my fault at that -- blown SID) Commodore 128D Amiga 500 (broken) Amiga 2000 (with harddisk) Amiga 3000 Apple IIc (x2) Apple IIgs (x2) Laser 128 (Apple IIc clone) Macintosh Plus Outbound Systems notebook (portable '030 Mac clone w/ Plus ROMs, won't recharge) Timex Sinclair 2068 (screwy but usuable video. For some reason, I find this one especially captivating even though I have no software or peripherals for it) There's more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. In general, last time I looked, these all work unless mentioned otherwise. Of course, I'd like to fix or replace the broken items. Some things I'd like to find: Model 16 stuff: CP/M (CP/M-68k?) on 8" disks ** Harddisk ** Network card (did it do Ethernet, or only Arcnet?) Color Computer stuff: OS/9 disks ** RAM expansion Multicartridge adapter Accelerator Commodore 64/128 stuff: REU (RAM Expansion Unit) Multicartridge adapter (did they make these? I haven't seen one) Accelerator Serial accelerator SuperSnapshot 5 cartridge ** Harddisk Apple II(gs) stuff: IIgs accelerator SCSI card ** Apple IIc+ (I've only seen one of these once) Amiga stuff: Amiga 1200 ** Accelerator ** I really want these. :) I also collect video game systems. Of these, some of the ones I'm most interested in find more stuff for are: Atari 7800(/2600), Atari 5200, Sega Master System, Commodore CD32, 3DO, NES. I'm currently playing with the C= 128D. Dug out my old 1581 disk drive and some disks. Whoo that's a fun machine, but I need a fastloader cartridge. :) -jrs _______________________________________________________________________ \/|/\ | Jason Simpson | http://www.xio.com/jason/ /\|\/ | jason(a)xio.com | Wanted: Honda Civic VX or Volkswagen Fox Wagon
