S100 haul

Just read Dave D's post - seems to be the week for S100 stuff! We picked up a van load at the weekend - 19 Horizons (another 3 are on the way!), 9 Minstrels, a Cromemco (I forget which!), and an imperial buttload (artistic licence :) of S100 spares. Reasonable amount of documentation and floppies too, plus some useful test gear (logic analyser, DRAM / SIMM tester, capacitance meter). This was from a house where the old chap had died recently - to say he was a bit of a hoarder was an understatement. The house was floor to ceiling with computers, docs, software, newspapers, books, photos, videos. Unfortunately the chap's son who was there with us was paranoid about there being sensitive information buried in everything, so 90% of the docs and disks had to be left behind - ditto with most of the components and test gear as he was worried they'd still be on the books Shame as it means there's a lot of stuff that's going to get trashed (it wasn't the sort of thing that'd have any resale value). We got a lot of the hardware. I think there were a couple of Minstrels and Televideos left, along with a BBC Micro, Sinclair QL, a pile of mono displays, and a dull Amstrad wordprocessor machine. We've not had time to sort through everything that we picked up yet. I did notice some S100 vector graphics boards that caught my eye...

All weekend was spent loading and unloading stuff - will try and get an inventory of the boards within a few days... cheers Jules
