Have been on vacation since Friday and still have a couple days to
go... From the thrift store outlook in the area things are improving
again (I guess people are starting their pre-spring cleaning)
What I passed up on...
PET 8032, 4040 dual drive.
Agggggh! I'd *love* to replace my long-lost 8032. It was one of the item
burgled from my house a while back, along with an Amiga 500 and a rare A500
to 8-bit ISA adapter from Canada called "The Wedge". I _really_ wish I
had that... it was built for a WX-1 MFM controller (or a DTC 5160 RLL
controller), but would work perfectly for an 8-bit Ethernet card.
Anyway, rambling aside, where are you on vacation and is the PET still there?

ObBIO: 31, Male, collect 1802/6502/68000/PDP-8/PDP-11/VAX/SPARC. Started
with the PET and Elf in 1977. Have spare Apple ][, C-64, Amiga and SunSPARC
parts/systems for trade. My rarest find is probably my tiny collection of
4004 CPUs and support chips.
