Haven't got a lot of money to drop on classic computer goodness, but I
do brew a varied and drinkable selection of beers.
OK - here are some things I'm trying to get hold of.
Cable to go between two RL02 drives
Serial printer, ideally a DECWriter of some sort ('cos it's to go on my
PDP11)
VAXStation SCSI cable (with the funny half-pitch pins)
Some kind of CP/M box, with a reasonably well-documented disk controller
and console (can be internal, or an external serial terminal - I'm not
bothered).
Will swap for beer or toys, can collect.

OK, I'm in...
I suppose that the top of my list is a DEC GT-40. I really want to play
Lunar Lander and watch the weight of my lander go up by .25 lbs after I
visit the McDonald's on the moon. :-)
If anyone has a PDP-11/60 cluttering up their office, I'd happily give it a
good home.
I'd also like to get my hands on a Heathkit analog computer. Several years
ago, I passed up an EC-1 at a local auction and have been kicking myself
ever since.
I'm still trying to talk my cousin's husband out of the Altair 8800 he
built, but haven't had much luck yet.
An iCom Attache would be nice, as would a Wang 2200. I would also someday
like to get an Ampere, an APL-based laptop.
I have some trade bait, particularly an IBM 1130 ripe for restoration, most
of a DEC Industrial-8, a BASIC/APL IBM 5120, and a PDP-11/45. I'm still
planning to get the 11/45 running again some day, but if the right offer
were to come along...

Tell me more about the Ampere. It sounds interesting. I have an Attache
that might be available for the right trade.

Joe -
According to the Nadeau book, the case for the Ampere WS-1, a Japanese
laptop, was designed by the same guy who designed the Datsun 280Z. It was a
68000 VMEBus machine with a built-in microcasette drive.
What do you think you might want for the Attache?

If it's VME based then it must be BIG.

It's an Ottrona Attache, not an iCOM. I THINK it works, I haven't used
it in some time. I have ONE of the two books for it. Interesting trades
considered.
