Hey! Yes!! :-) I missed the last one because I hadn't moved down
here yet...but now I'm just a little ways away in St. Petersburg.
Barring any catastrophe, count me in!

Dave,
Good. Hope to see you there. BTW I haven't forgoteen about your request for info
in the scanner. I've got to go out and take a look at it and get the details. From
what I remember it's a Fujitsu 3096. (Actually there's threeof them.) I did have
cables and controller cards for them including the daughterboards with loads of memory on
them but I don't know if the cards and cables are still around.

New subject: SWTPC 6800 deal of the day.
Today I acquired an SWPTC 6800 computer full of boards, an SWTPC AC-30 cassette interface,
an
SWTPC keyboard/terminal (in what looks like an old teletype case), a cassette recorder,
some software on
tape, and a camera tripod for $15. If it hadn't been for the tripod (which I
didn't want anyway), the cost
would probably have been $5.
There appears to be a good deal of literature on the Web about this computer. One link I
couldn't find was
to Mike Dogas's page. Mike, you out there?
The system looks like it hasn't been used in a very long time, and need a little
attention before it gets
plugged in.
There is no CRT with the system, and I haven't had time to figure out exactly what is
required with the
SWTPC keyboard/terminal. But there are wires all over the place!
Pointers to useful information appreciated, especially on how to get a disk system working
with this system.
Thanks,
Louis

Louis,
I've got two functional SWTPc systems here, including a 6800,
with full documentation. One of the more useful sites about these
machines is Michael Holley's web site at:
http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/index.html
He's designed a new floppy controller for them and there is
also a group working on an IDE interface.

No you want the tripod, how else can you take digital
pictures of
yourself working on the machine for future reference.

Look on my site at www.swtpc.com and follow the New Pages link or go to
swtpc.home.attbi.com . You will find documents on the CT-1024 terminal and
the AC-30.
At the bottom of the "New Pages" page is a link to testing a SWTPC 6800.
If you need a floppy disk contoller, I sell a new one designed in 2001.

I just talked
to Eric Smith and he's going to be visiting this area
(Orlando) around May 17 or 18. I thought it might be a good time for
another Junk Feast. Let me know if you're interested.
