Gang,
Our bid on a new house has been accepted and my wife and I have started the
task of packing. In reviewing my own computer collection, it looks like it's
time to part with a few pieces which are redundant or for which I really
don't have the time anymore.
Therefore, the following are free to a good home:
1. Perkin-Elmer (Concurrent) 7350, 2MB RAM, 320K floppy, 30MB HD, KB, mono
monitor.
This is a 68000-based Unix box, often used for instrument control.
Runs IDRIS, Uniplus SystemIII, and/or MicroXELOS (Uniplus-derived
SVR2) (currently installed).
Comes with copious manuals (including service docs), OS disks
(plus extra copies), and some applications software.
2. AT&T 3B2/310, 4MB RAM, 2x72MB HD, floppy. Includes EPORTS, tape,
SCSI, and Ethernet cards. Also have additional tape and PORTS cards.
Comes with full set of manuals adn OS diskettes.
3. Zenith Z-89. 64K RAM, hard-sector disk controller.
4. Apple //c (ROM 255). 128K RAM, includes power brick.
5. TRS-80 Model III. 48K, 2 floppies (may need speed adjustment), serial
card installed. Works, but not the prettiest Model III.
6. TRS-80 Color Computer 2 (older version). 64K, Extended Color Basic.
Works, but again not the prettiest.
7. Dead Compaq Portable (original). Motherboard dead, some sort of problem
with power supply. KB and video find. Includes Video, Printer, and HD
controller cards. Also includes all case pieces. May be useful for
someone attempting to restore one.
I'm located in Central New Jersey. I'd prefer not to have to ship, but
will do so if someone is will ing to pay. For obvious reasons, the
Perkin-Elmer and AT&T may be too much to ship.

John,
My friend from work has expressed a strong desire for the 3B2,
but I don't know if you both got in contact with each other. His name
is Jack Twilley (jmt(a)nda.com). However, it's a little unclear to me
if you have found another taker.... did you and Jack arrange the
exchange?

This message was intended for John directly, but I
accidentally posted to the list without noticing the effects of the
reply-to.... whoops! Please disregard (jeesh, I feel like a newbie
with my first email client <<blush>>).
