It's been a good day. Picked up a couple of new items.
One, I picked up an Atari Portfolio with spare 128k and 64k
memory cards and the PC Card drive from someone in Germany in
exchange for some DVDs I produce. It near mint condition it
appears. Doc is in german but I can understand enough to get me
through. Now to go hack some ATMs. :-)
The other cool item was the first dual processor BeBox! First in
this case as in the first one off the assembly line. Can't wait to get
this home and hooked up. Of course I don't think that falls under
the 10 year rule.

It may not fall under the 10 year rule, but the BeBox definitely falls under
the cool oddball tech exemption, especially in this case!

Yes, it is a "cool oddball tech" item. Now I have to see what
version of BeOS he has for it.

Cool all the same though.....what has it documented as the
first one off the line?

So far I just have his word but even if it isn't I'll still take the
system. :-) This guy buys all the unusual computing stuff when it
comes out and was working with them when Be was putting
together the system. He said he had the first order in for one. I'll
know more when he brings the system over as he has some sort of
documentation on it. Either way, it's a cool find. Now I'm off to
Austin to pick up a bunch of stuff from Bill.
