new additions (long)

this weekend brought me several interesting items. someone from south carolina noticed my name was on the classic computer mailing list and emailed me about some machines he wanted to give me so i met him halfway and picked up a truckload of items. i got: 2 xycom cpm workstations which are big old one piece units, complete with 8 inch floppy drives. an external 10 meg hard drive unit. add on floppy unit for a total of 3 drives a giant and extremely heavy box full of original documentation and cpm 1.1 system disks/wordstar/spellstar/business software. ~200 disks total, and some are still blank and never used! also got a decwriter on casters and all the cables to hook everything up. i have not powered up the machines yet, as i'm letting them acclimate for 24 hours since they had to ride in the back of the truck in 20 degree weather. at a radio rally the same day i got: mac se fdhd ibm basic primer handbook still in shrinkwrap. mca modem <?> card apple //c power supply in original plastic wrap. ( i didnt know it was supposed to be so white!) some C= 64 stuff, including some manuals, a print interface and a modem in the original box with a price tag of over $100. i even got the quantumlink software in a never opened box. and my best find, a tandy 102! complete with owner's guide, ps, and matching battery operated cassette recorder. the guy wanted $30 for it, but my girlfriend's smile got the computer for $20 lol. david
