Update on the Microdata system.
The system is safe and sound in my storage unit. It came complete with a couple of
manuals, two terminals, tape drive, the printer, and some terminal controller boxes.
Unfortunately, they were not able to locate any tapes or the cables, and there aren't
very many manuals either.
I talked directly with the lister, and apparently the computer was at a client's site,
and the site was NOT open on weekends, so for me, picking it up would be rather
difficult.
Fortunately, however, his son is a college student with a day off and a pickup truck - and
he was willing to deliver it. Unfortunately, he also wanted $250 to do it. That was more
than I wanted to spend on the system, but I caved in anyway, because it meant that I
wouldn't have to spend an entire day driving out there, retrieving it, loading it,
etc.
It arrived yesterday around 3:00 - I got out of work a couple hours early to meet them at
my storage unit. Unloading it went well, and they had packed the system in the truck well,
it arrived in good shape.
So, now I have Microdata 6000 and a Printronix P-600...
Anyone have any information on these systems?
