what is condition of the mod 100 trs 80? more concerned abut visual as it would go in a tools of the journalist over at the univ or if anyone else has one they could toss in a box and send this way. They were one of the early "issued items" to some reporters to phone home stories. When about it... the 'tools of the journalist' throughout the ages makes for a pretty interesting display especially when you take in to account print, radio and television. the dec may be to much to box and mess with and I certainly can't make the road trip although it has to be better than our 104 degree weather here!

While I did expect DEC-anything would attract more interest, I was figuring people would have read my message from earlier in the day, here's the extract/backgrounder: So my house sold yesterday after < 3 days on the market (the market here is nuts). I have about two months to move, so a bunch of stuff has to disappear. Location is the Vancouver, BC, Canada region (Port Moody more precisely). Most of this stuff is larger and I'm not going to have a lot of time to pack & ship, so local pickup is expected. If there is competition for something I guess it goes to the one willing to offer the greater number of bucks, otherwise items are free as the alternative destination is recycling/scrap. Any bucks involved are not because I expect a lot (or anything), but just to sort out who 'values' it the most if there is multiple interest in an item. I reserve the right to be whimsical in any decision. At this point three (distant) parties have inquired about this item. No, I don't want to scrap it, but I can't make promises for shipping something this size at this time. If someone is "really interested" (you have the other bits for example), let me know. Shipping just the CPU board may be another option. (There has been no interest in all the other stuff at this point except the TRS-80 M100 and a question about the XT-clone.) <cctalk at classiccmp.org> CPU board in one of the logic slots. time ago and got it to produce some boot text on the screen. raster. Schematic obtained from bitsavers. No video or sync signals from processor board to monitor board. CG CHAR CLK to CRT Controller chip is present (1.5MHz), but no sync signals out from CRT Controller. ROM, CPU, CRTC socketed chips rocked for contact, no change. CRT Controller may not be getting initialised in initial ROM boot process. power-up brings up SET-UP message and flashing cursor after several seconds.
