It's nutjob-expensive, if you ask me - but the guy's 2 - one he's epaying
alone ($50 USD opening bid, BIN for $75) and he's got another complete
machine with the BASIC ROM in it for $115 BIN, IIRC. No bids on either
one... should I snag the ROM to make backups of it? :-O
Will another chance come along like this at all???
Anyone wanna go in with me on it? *I gotz the Eproms...*
Lemme know!

If you have the capsule carriers, too, I'll pitch in for a copy. I'm not
skilled enough to build my own module, though, alas.

Rumor has it that Cameron Kaiser may have mentioned these words:
Good news: the EPROMs I have are from straight from HHCs and are built into
the carrier. Just plug and go. ;-) I just happen to have a metric buttload
of 'em as well!
Better news: I was hoping not to pay $75 for buy-it-now, so I just put the
$50 bid on it hoping no-one else would bid. The guy ended the auction
early, so it's mine! $55 shipped, and already paid for. ;-)
Now to climb the stairs to the 3rd floor attic and find my HHC... ;-)
(That, and find my wire-wrap tool to hack up an adapter for my EPROM reader...)
Oh, Happy Day!
Laterz,

Tell me where to send the cash and address, and I'll kick my part in.

I'll kick in. too, for one or two Basic EPROMs. I can send my own EPROMs and
carriers (the insurance software on them does not interest me). Let me know how
much $, where to send and how to send.
Thanks,
Martin

I got the impression that the seller is himself minting these eproms --
he is probably found the one guy who had the BASIC eprom. I've seen a
few of these already listed in the past month or so. He might even be a
list member still, I know he has been in the past -- mike davis.
