your collection survive you?
When I die, my collection is up for grabs... First one here can have it all.

Just be sure to hit the [send] on your email before you do!
(All joking aside, I guess the lesson is that this virtual
community we have here will be unknown to any of our successors
unless we make efforts to document its existence and our
memberships in it.
Also, for a collection worth more than a few $K, it probably
should be documented with items and their values and supporting
literarure (Processor magazine?) )

I just go back from checking out a municipal yard sale in North
Kingstown. Generally speaking, not much. I did see a TRS-80 model 1,
and an early Mac and an Apple II lurking in the piles. Also some early
clone XT's and AT's. One possibility is an ADDS Consul 980 terminal. I may
go back for that. Looks like early 70's vintage. Also some Datamaxx jobs,
but no servers. Odd omission.
Mostly junk, but some IBM Selectric II's, and a beautiful Adler. Some
Panasonic Electronic typewriters, too, but most stuff was in rough condition.

I did somewhat better. I picked up several CDC core memory boards (to
help finance my collection!) and an old Tektronix Multi User Developement
system (Tektronix 8540 and 8560) with a 68000 CPU pod. I just posted some
pictures at
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek-developement/tek-pod.jpg",
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek-developement/tek-8560.jpg",
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek-developement/tek-8540.jpg",
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek-developement/8560-bk.jpg" and
"http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/tek-developement/8540-bk.jpg". Sorry
the pictures aren't any better but I just got home and unloaded the stuff
and I haven't had time to clean it or look at it closely yet. The 8560
uses an 8 inch floppy drive. I have soem disk here that are marked
"Tek-DOS", I'm hoping that they're for this system. Does anyone know
anything about these?
