Yikes!
Don't I wish I lived in the USA!
Having written applications in Cbasic on Horizons years ago. I would
just love one for my collection.
Oh well 'one day in the uk' (maybe)

Hi
Tim Deaton, former Northstar dealer, contacted us to offer us as a
donation a la rge van load of NorthStar and NorthStar related computers,
software, parts and m isc stuff including Horizon, Advantage, and Din-
ension chassis and parts, never been used Zenith S-100 buss machine,
never opene d software applications packages, old technical manuals,
add-on cards and device s, and oddball stuff...
Sadly, as we are based in France we can't handle this exceptional
donation.
So we pass the message to all collectors, mainly those based in the USA.
If you want this stuff, there are two conditions:
- you must accept to help
www.old-computers.com get info & pictures from
this st uff to be added to the museum
- You will have to do as as Tim say (see his email below)
If you are interested, mail me back (olivier at old-computers) explaining
why you t hink you can fulfill those two conditions. I will give Tim
contacts to the first serious reply.
Good luck

I have a large van load of NorthStar and NorthStar related computers,
software, parts and misc stuff that needs a good home. You can have this
stuff IF you will use it responsibly.
This includes Horizon, Advantage, and Din- ension chassis and parts. A
never been used Zenith S-100 buss machine, never opened software
applications packages, old technical manuals, add-on cards and devices,
and oddball stuff you probably never thought you would see again.
I also have a score of Televideo terminals.
I may have some serial cabling and I have A LOAD of Full Height Floppy
Disk drives.
If you will find them a good home, you can have them but you must pick
them up.
The cache is located near Indianapolis
and I will be returning to the area from my home in Florida in June of
this year.
If you have a FULL size van and removed the second and third row of
seats, you could likely get all the chassis and software packed in.
If you want the parts and the terminals, better bring a panel truck.
You will have to help me sort them out of the HUGE stash of equipment I
have in the garage and office.
