I live in Massachussetts. We have plenty of mediocre PCs, half the time
I don't bother. I see mostly XTs at thrift stores, recently I saw a
Compaq Portable. I didn't bother with a Mac 512K, and missed out on an
SE and LC. If any of you see any machines that are not too big, please
ship them to me. I will pay shipping and a few bucks extra. I am
interested in most non-PC or Mac stuff. On my wanted list are:
-Any model Amiga
-A Commodore 64,128,128D (I have all the stuff for the 64 except the
actual unit. I even have a PSU)
-A SMALL Unix station, including NeXT
-Portables, PC or Z80
-Not sure how big a MicroVAX is, but if it is what the name implies
(wasn't it just a tower?), then by all means
-Maybe a CoCo if it has a disk drive
I know most of this stuff isn't much to you people, but I wouldn't mind
them :)
so many that I have to pick and choose. I left behind
4 AT&T 3B2s, a
NeXt, an AT&T 6300, 2 HP Appollos and 2 HP 9000/300s yesterday. All
of that was at a GSA auction at KSC. I did get a COMPLETE Commodeore
Pet set and a Vax Station 3100 for Zane.

Well, since we're posting want lists... :)
NOTE: none of this is particularly difficult to find; it's just that when I
see people like J.P. find them for next to nothing, it makes me want to ask
people to keep their eyes open as opposed to paying dealer prices.
Desperate/Immediate wants:
-Sun S-BUS color video card
(I finally get the Sparc 2 up, and a week later the CGSIX (GX) dies.)
-Replacement plastics for the screen of an NCR 3170 (Safari SSL/25)
notebook
Like to find:
-Cheap Mac ADB mice (two) and ADB keyboard.
-Memory upgrade for Zenith SuperSPORT 286e
-4MB PAL SIMMS for Mac IIx
Wish list stuff:
-Macintosh Portable
-Apple //gs
-Kaypro 10 (or, at least the board set to convert a K-1)
-Ampro LittleBoard (SCSI model, if possible)
-Orange Micro 386 NuBUS card
FWIW, I'm in NJ. Will reimburse for costs and shipping.

I just got a box full of Sun motherboards with Sparc S-bus cards on them, I'll
check for a video card. I also have new, in the box, a serial parallel board for a
SPARC system by Aurora. It's a model 210S with all the docs, software and pigtail
cable. It gives you 2 serials and 1 parallel port.
Not sure what the video card would go for and not sure if I'll get a working one
but the Aurora can be yours for $20 which includes shipping in the 48 states. It's
not a needed item here and excess that's in my way. If you want it let me know and
I'll let you know what happens NeXT.
I'll let you know the particulars on the Sun motherboards since you may want a
full board with expansions as well as long as it has the video card you need.

I have C64's with power supplies for $15 a set plus shipping. To Mass it
should be roughly $5 to ship USPS. These are near -new machines that were
excess to a local school, never used and they've gone to Win95 and Pentiums
now.
A also have like new 1541 drives as well, $10 plus shipping. If you were to
get a drive, C64 and power supply togehter I'd go $20 for the set plus
shipping. Of course shipping is a little more since the 1541 is 10 lbs by
itself. I clear around $1.50 on a set like this but they are in my way so
I'd rather break even than step over the boxes of them for the next year.
