Through the grapevine I heard about some computers that needed saving.
Anyway, I made the 1.5 hour drive to Montvale, NJ and this is what I got for
my effort:
3 TRS-80 model 12 computers, complete with keyboards.
2 Boxes of manuals
1 Box of miscellaneous 8" diskettes.
I know there isn't a lot of interest in the model 12, but it is one of the
very first computers I ever worked on. I'm glad that I was able to find 3 of
them in great shape.
If anyone knows of any of the "big iron" TRS-80/Tandy computers that need
rescuing, let me know. I've hauled them back to New Jersey from as far away
as Arkansas.

Hi Kelly,
Nice haul indeed... The Model 12's are just slightly different
from the Model 16's right? Can you still run
Xenix on them?

The Model 12 is a cost-reduced Model 2. No 68000 present, though IIRC
it could be upgraded to a Model 6000, which was the replacement for
the Model 16B.

Well I was just looking at TRS 80 web page, and this may give more
information.

New subject: Sun IPC Boot ROM
Does anyone have a spare Boot ROM for a Sparc IPC, with OpenPROM v2+ on
it? Any of these should do, I think:
525-1191-01
525-1191-02
525-1191-03
Mine has an ancient version 1.6 (525-1085-03), which apparently doesn't
support the TGX.
