Well, here's my bio: I am a 31-year-old banker in Syosset (Long Island), New York. Many of my waking hours involve lending millions to near-bankrupt companies without a clue. It's not sexy, but it's a job <g>. As expected, I worked at Radio Shack from high school through college (I even got a 5-year service pin) Anyway, I digress. I really began collecting old computers about three years ago. It all started with the VIC-20 that I got when I was in junior high school (my all-time favorite; I learned 6502 machine language on that machine. Snif, snif. Sigh). From there, I added a Fat Mac that I owned in college. Then, a PET 4032 system (a gift from my former junior high school computer teacher), an IBM Datamaster (blown F8 ROM :-( Now a useless POS), two Tandy Model 1's (one 4k, one 16k, with expansion chassis; works fine), a complete Model 100 system (with DVI and monitor), and an original IBM PC with expansion chassis. That was it for a long time. Then, I found this group... Well, I've loaded up on an Apple ][+, an Apple /// with a ProFile HD, several more VIC-20's (spares if anyone needs parts), a C64, several other CBM parts, a Compaq SLT/286 and dock (not really a classic, but free, all 25+ lbs of it), an original Atari 2600 in the box, a complete Apple //gs system, a Mac SE/30, and a Northstar Horizon with many random boards (this is my next fix-up project). I also have some software that I've collected (not all originals, though): DOS 1.1 through 6.22, Windoze 1.01, 2.0, 3.0, etc., VisiCalc, Lotus, and others. Then came my "drive and get it" phase, aka, the too big and heavy to ship. I have a Sun 3/50 and shoebox (more on this later), a DEC uVax-I in a BA23 case with several RD52 drives, and a complete PDP-11/34 system. This was the best - a complete system, just as if the guy ordered it 20 years ago with all manuals and enough spares to last a lifetime. I still don't have a complete inventory of the spare parts, but the rack has 2 RK05 drives, the CPU, and an expansion chassis. I just picked-up several RK05 disk packs with the original RT-11 distribution on it. It came with several boxes of documentation, and several binders that clip into a metal holder (like would hold the OED dictionary). My major focus from here on (because my wife has *suggested* that I have enough computers) is fill-in stuff: * Commodore software/hardware (cartridge slot expander, speech synth, IEEE card, games) * Apple game software/hardware (i.e., paddles and joysticks) * Apple Lisa (not really fill-in, but I can always slip one by...) * IMSAI 8080 (this one is pre-authorized by the "computer police") * Copy-II-PC card * PDP stuff for transferring files (maybe a paper tape reader/punch). I'm also in the process of getting an RX02 drive for my system. * Embedded/SBC stuff (like a KIM-1 or SYM-1) * Intel iAPX432 processor set I also am looking for non-classic stuff along the lines of embedded-PC stuff (x86 PC card on an ISA backplane, for example; for experimentation). I also have a passing interest in robotics (I'm specing a Mars rover style autonomous robot), gardening, and golf. Rich Cini/WUGNET &lt;nospam_rcini(a)msn.com&gt; (remove nospam_ to use) ClubWin!
