Earl's down here (a liquidation place) has a DEC
Rainbow for sale. I
don't exactly remember what they want for it, but i remember thinking it
was ridiculous (probably the better half of 100 bills, maybe more).
However, if anybody wants this particular curio, I will be glad to trot
down there and grab it for you.
(If you aren't aware - it is a dual processor 8080 (CP/M) and 8086 (CP/M
86 or MS-DOS) computer with 2 5.25" floppies). I used to have one that
belonged to work... it is kinda cool.
I had a deal going with a guy to get one for $10 plus shipping. He had
several. But he said when he went to fire them up, none worked! I told
him not to sweat it, but I think I'll go back and try to revive the deal.
