Mike,
You left out the boxed RS cassette drive.
Where were you Sunday? I never saw you. You must have missing the HTI
68030 emulator/development setup and the two Dec 3000s. The same guy has
FIVE SGIs that he wants to get rid of. I'M working on that!
The guy that I told you about that has the paper tape reader and punch
was there. I would have introduced you if I had seen you.
You also forgot to stop and get that PDP out of my truck.
I got a big set of National Semiconductor data books today. Including
the ones for the 2900 bit slice CPUs. Also found ANOTHER HP 3468 HP-IL
digital multimeter and a very strange Faber Castell slide rule.

... Mike Haas came down from jacksonville and we
went to the first day of
the Orlando hamfest. Mike scored big time! No less than 6 different TRS
computers. Several are like new and in their original boxs with all the
books. He also bought several other interesting toys!
It was fun! A boxed coco2 and mc-10, and letsee... a model 4, a model 1
L1, a model 1 L2, a Holmes Expansion Interface, 2 disks, a light pen, and ;)
the plug&power controller with docs and cassette software. Non Radioshack
stuff included a prettily outfitted Atari Portfolio, a Covox voice master
again for the atari I hope, an Epson hx-20, and ;))) an Applied Microsystems
diagnostic cpu emulator with a 6809 pod and documentation.
I drove back down there later Sunday and didn't see anything more than I had
on Friday, and am in some respects glad. This haul will take awile to
assimilate....
