parts
back in the 80's.
Real computer warranties? hmmm, the warranty on my apple //+ was only 90 days
if i'm not mistaken...
I was about to say the same thing... I never owned a Tandy with more than
90 days warranty on it -- tho I've *never* had one fail. (Tho my cousin
dropped my floppy drive 8ft onto pavement... hmm, wonder why it never
worked after that? Most useless $180 _he_ ever spent, he said back then!
Now he works for Siemens...) The I/O board in my 386SX failed 30 days after
the 1 year warranty went out. Thank goodness back then they were only
$13.00 + S/H!
I don't think the Commies had any better warranty, IIRC... My Atari came
w/o docs as well -- maybe this could be a new entry for the Classic
Computer List Database??? Length of Warranty? :-)
