Friday weather was pretty good. Classic computer-wise I picked up a Heathkit ET-3400 with the Memory I/O expansion, along with all the manuals. Got a Heathkit EPROM programmer with one module (I saw the other one that Roger mentioned but thought it was too expensive). From the same seller I also got a Tandy Color Computer EDTASM cartridge and a 16K memory module for a Timex-Sinclair. I bought a Micro PDP-11 and borrowed the seller's hand-truck to get it out to my car. Right now it's in my garage -- I have no documentation and haven't had time yet to check it out. I bought four BCC52x single-board computers, with manuals and interface documentation. These use the 8052 BASIC language processor discussed on this list recently. I hefted a Heathkit H-47 eight-inch drive housing (no drives) back to the car. Quite heavy. I bought a TRS-80 Pocket Computer in a case with a photocopied manual, along with two handheld electronic games (Tandy Cycle Race and Tandy Championship Baseball). Also picked up an HP-35 calculator and AC adapter. Later I bought an HP-41C and 82104A card reader, both in the original boxes with all the manuals, along with an HP-28 and manuals. I also bought a whole bunch of Texas Instruments calculator repair parts, which happened to include a few TIL-311 LED displays. I met fellow list-member Dan Cohoe, who had a truck full of HP equipment (mostly 64000 stuff). Very nice guy, except that he's taking all the old HP gear up to Canada! :-)
