XPOST: Adoptables and fairly cheapo machines available - NC

This is a new post on the Obsolete Computer Helpline that I thought someone may have an interest in. Write to Mike Smith, not me, on these items. ------------------------------ Michael M. Smith <snuggemsnospam(a)nospam.bearwolf.com> Cary, NC USA - Tuesday, November 10, 1998 at 10:44:04 (Remove the nospams when you reply) It's time to clean house. I have numerous machines that need to find homes, for reasonable prices. How reasonable? Make an offer. Not interested in making any money off these, as most were given to me or purchased for a small fee that I've gotten my money's worth out of 1. A TI-99/4A computer with speech synth, power adapter, RF adapter, cassette program recorder with cables, many software packages with most in original boxes (The software, not the machine) Its the black and chrome model, and everything works perfectly. Oh, and it has the joysticks with it too. Not sure how well they work. 2. Kaypro 1 luggable. Powers up and tries to boot, but no system disk available. See TRS-80 entry, its disks might work. 3. Kaypro 4 luggable. Same as above. 4. Atari 5200 game system. Trackball controller, Atari 2600 adapter, three 5200 joysticks, one 2600-compatible joystick, several cartridges. Trackball and joysticks could use some cleaning, can't get them all to work right. 5. TRS-80 Model 4. Manuals, disks, extra programming books, even a copy of Zaxxon...Looks awful in b&w though. The B drive is a little flaky, might need cleaning, might need more. It has TRS-DOS and CP/M 2.2 so these disks might work with the Kaypros mentioned above. 6. Atari 800XL with two 1050 disk drives, the 410 tape recorder, and a "Big Blue" thermal roll printer. Several manuals and disks and cartridges. Not in the best of shape, is quite dirty. One of the 1050 drives is in its original packaging. Not sure if this works. Interested adopters need to be in the RTP area of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel-Hill) as I am not willing to ship these items. Any questions regarding specific cartridges may be addressed to me. Thanks, and help me get rid of this clutter! Some really interesting items for a computer museum. I also have an IBM PS/2 model 35sx with 16MB of RAM and a 420MB IDE hard drive (It's an IDE and ISA model) that I might let out for adoption too, but will have to ask $30 to recoup the cost of the RAM and the harddrive I put in it. Thanks again! Mike
