I have been lurking here for a while, thinking about getting into the
field.
None of you seem to be in and around Chicago ??
Anyway, I have a nice start with the computers that I bought when they were
new.
MITS Altair 8800 (early model with the short panel switches) -- this
includes a number of hand-made wire-wrapped gadgets, original box (very
tattered), original MITS invoices, original assembly manuals (for the kit),
and Microsoft's first version of Altair BASIC on paper-tape with the
original manual.
It all worked about 15 years ago.
Fortune Systems 32:16. Fortune attempted to mass-market a 68000-based unix
box. A great machine -- but it was introduced a few months before the the
IBM PC -- which doomed it.
I also have a lot of mac stuff, including an early Mac II; a PowerMac
6100/60, various PCs.
I also have a number of old industrial PLCs -- Modicon, Allen Bradley, GE
Series One.
