I've picked up a crap load of early IBM software and manuals in the last
two weeks and got another load today. I got some neat stuff (MS-DOS 1.0,
CP/M-86 v1.0) but I've got way more than I have room for so I'm selling a
bunch of it off. I have a LOT of technical reference manuals, all kinds of
compilers, lots of early IBM software and more. Most of it appears to be
unused. I think I'm going to keep the PC Hardware Maintenance and Service
manual since I have an early PC that I'm hanging onto, I haven't decided
about the CPM=86 and DOS V1.0 yet. See
<http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rigdonj>
and keep checking back, I've got lots more to post.

In my case, I search Multiplan and Basic Compiler from years. PC Network
is another good candidate. If you have a list and could send it would be
helpful.
Oh, and I have a bunch of XT and AT. Hardware maintenance manuals are
welcome :-)

Sorry but I don't have a list but I did post BASIC compiler, MultiPlan
and two PC Network manuals on E-bay last night. If there's anything in
particular that you're looking for, let me know and I'll see if I have it.

Ok, Joe. Thanks.
I search mostly Early PC compilers. If I remember well,
IBM had Basic, Cobol, APL, Fortran, Macro Assembler, Logo and Pascal.
I had a couple of them, but any other find is welcome.
My second field of search is about Technical and Hardware manuals.
In third position comes commercial software: Wordstar 3.3, Visicalc,
Multiplan,
Easywriter (I see it in the list), Dbase and so.
Fourth, alternative Operating Systems: CP/M, UCSD Pascal, Pick,
Osasis/Theos,
Xenix, early versions of Netware and Vines, and so on.
Fifth, the unexplored forest of the Utilities :-) There are a LOT of IBM
Utilities
not well known by here. Some other, like the Professional Editor, are known
but
I have it already.
In addition, I should like to know if someone has one IBM PC XT expansion
unit
with boards (and even peripherals installed). I should like to locate one.
Cheers
Sergio

Take a look at www.farumdata.dk/enserv.htm roughly in the middle of the page. Is
it something like that box you are looking for ? It contains today 1x 8", 2x
5.25" and 2x 3.5" drives. I have also a version with 4x 5.25" modules
(streamers and/or floppy drives).

Sounds like you collect just about everything for the PC. You must have
a lot of room! I used to have APL for the PC. I wish I'd keep it. I think
it's the only one that I didn't get in this load. BTW I also have
PolyForth from Forth Inc. Forth Inc is the company that Charles Moore
started in order to sell Forth after he wrote it. No, it's not for sale.
I've had it for a long time and one of these days I'll sit down and give it
some serious attention.
In addition, I should like to know if someone has one IBM PC XT expansion

Those are hard to find. I used to have one but without the intreface
cards and cable. They only other one that I know of is the one that Glen
sold one E-bay.

New subject: Lots of early IBM PC manuals & SW - One addition
Oops, I forgot to mention too:
* The Databases: together with Dbase, I should like to put an eye (and
hands) in Delta,
Rbase, Dataflex, Oracle, Focus and Clipper EARLY versions.
* Other Micropro products: Datastar, and so.
* Graphic/CAD products: Early versions of Autocad and other similar
products.
* In general any weird Lan and Multitasking product of the beginnings of PC
era.
In hardware, it would be welcome one Corvus system with boards to use with
my
XTs and ATs
Dream is cheap :-)

That remind me. I saw some Grachics stuff for the PC there but I didn't
get it. I think one package was for a Graphical User Interface or something
like that and another package was a Developement System for the GUI.

I saw a Corvus box sitting in a scrap place last week. I was wondering
if it was worth picking up. It's been sitting outside for a while and I
didn't see any interface cards or cables for it. It might still be ok but I
didn't know exactly what it was for and since it was missing the card and
cable I decided not to bother with it.
