Dang me!!! I finally have a few things to share for rescues, even if they don't seem *spectacular* to everyone else... I just picked up a Commie 128 (seems to be in good shape), a grungy 64, 3 drives (two Commie 1541's and a Swan clone 1571), a monitor, a partner 128 (what the heck is that??? I'm usually a Tandy person) a Commie serial to Centronics parallel port adapter (that's cool... I can hook that to my Epson LQ-500) and *lots* of disks, including the original CPM 3.0 boot disk. I've not had a chance to check the stuff out, but at least it's home safe... Also, just got a call today from a guy (looking for a job...) just moved or two that he'd be willing to let loose. Seems he's got 3, maybe only 2 work fully, but only wants 1 to use... so I'm first in line to get the difference. As he put it, his stuff is being shipped "on the equivalent to being tied to a cat's tail" from Utah, so it won't arrive for a few weeks yet... but when it does and he gets settled in, he's going to let me know. Whoohoo!!! ;-) Yea, it still pales to most stories around here, but dangit... it's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!!! ;^> See y'all 'round, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.

Mike Grigoni went above and beyond, but it turned out he only had a version I couldn't use :-(. Thank goodness for this list! By the way, I'm willing to burn/read EPROMS for CLASSICCMP people if they send me the parts/data and a couple of bucks to cover mailing them back. Or if in my area (Sacramento, CA), they can drop by. My way of saying "thanks" for the help I've gotten here. Dann L.
