50 minutes late 'cuz I was responsible for the pyro *and* the
champagne (the bad weather may have cancelled the party in my home town
of Edinburgh, but we don't give up in York)...
Happy New Year to everyone on ClassicCmp, and very best wishes for
2004!

LOL. We had pleny of 'pyro' here too (Salford) but saw and heard the
fireworks in York (maybe yours) courtesy of "Most Haunted Live" on LivingTV
which was coming from the Race Course.
Best wishes to everyone!

Hi all and happy new year!
I'm planning a bit of a rationalisation concerning my computer bits, so
would anyone have a home for the following:
DEC Rainbow - two chassis and parts, keyboard screen etc just add HD
ICL OPD - with manuals and some pods, only headless
SGI Iris 4D/25
Various ACT Apricot spares and boards
Atari 520ST
Free to collect in the NW, UK.
I'm still on the lookout for:
PS/2 model 80
ACT Sirius
If anyone can help.
Cheers.

Hi Stuart,
I can be a home for the OPD and manuals, and have you got a PSU for an
Apricot XI HD20?
I'm in the North-east :)
cheers, and happy new year to all!

is that a "Sirius 1" ?
-edit- a quick google and yep, I presume it is...
If so... I *had* two... a twin floppy-with-external-hard disc and a
single-floppy-with-internal-hard-disc unit. One of them might still be at
my parents house, and one of the might still be in my ex-wife's attic room,
if she's not chucked it along with everything else I left in there...
(grr.) I will make enquiries in both directions. Both in NW UK too, so
you might be extra lucky !
I think I do still have some of the system software here, though, DOS 1.x I
believe, some applications, utilities, etc. Also have a copy of BOS, an
alternate operating system which was an interpretative system that ran a
number of cobol based business applications (and which is still going
strong, although they've moved on a bit since.) All that will be buried in
the boxes, though, but if it's the right machine, and the machines are
still where I last left them, I'll dig them out too.
Regards

Apparently everything was cancelled in Newcastle too - good job we were at
home getting drunk with friends :o)
All the best!
