Well in a last minute romp over to Oakdale (CA) I found a few goodies to add to my collection. A thrift store (located on F Street, FYI) had a good selection that day AND a 1/2 price sale! What I picked up: An Atari 800; always liked this machine, good resolution, fun games and FOUR joystick ports. I popped open the cartridge cover before purchasing to discover the BASIC cart ws in it. After getting it home I found it was loaded with 48k of RAM, now all I have to do is start looking for a power supply and other peripherals to go with it (if it works). Can't wait till I find star raiders and all those other cool games I saw at store displays years back. This is a divergence from my mainly Commodore collection but prices are pretty tempting nowadays... (at least there is something good about the intel/microsoft hype). Vectrex Game system, looks kinda grimey and no joystick, but does power up with the space mines game, already found a few resources on the 'net but not the pinouts for the joystick yet. A Commodore Greenline Calculator WITH the power supply. A nice compliment to the two Minutemans (a model 6 and 6X) and the rechargable one (which I have to still figure out if the rechargable batteries are still good.) What I left behind: A Commodore Plus/4 (computer, power supply and books located at various locations around the store.) I have a couple already, that should be enough. A Beige TI 99/4a (in box w/power supply, $20.) They also had an extra TI 99/4a keyboard assembly for about $5... Tandy 2000 (keyboard priced separately from CPU), then the usual monochrome monitors, Atari joysticks, etc... Also... I just uploaded some new stuff to my web page! So step rrrrright up and see the amazing Commodore Collection of Larry Anderson, a rare glimpse at a Commodore P-500 Computer, A few notes on the Commodore PET, and what happened at the last Silicon Realms BBS Gaming/Gathering! just go to: http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare Larry Anderson
