Slightly off-topic, but still interests many of you.
Dozens of vintage (mediocre condition) electronic and HAM radio equipment for
sale in Costa Mesa, CA.
Storage unit needs to be cleaned out! None of it is mine, I'm just assisting.
There is a Kaypro II, Kaypro 4, a floppy drive assembly or two. No S-100
systems.
The owner is very unlikely to ship anything, but I can if required.

I took the Altos 586, with 2 feet of manuals, and some software.

I'd love to have that dual 8 inch drive.
See should know that that McIntosh amp is
quite valuable.

I wonder why Apple Records let an Apple Computer company alone for so long. ;)

Apple computer has better lawyers? I thought that records and a file
would both count as music MEDIA.

Reminds me of then-new Victor demanding that a electronics retailer
who'd called his business "Victor Electronics" for 20 years (IIRC)
change his business name or face the wrath of their mighty lawyers.
That really put me off of that company.
On the other hand, I've never used hand lotion to thicken gravy
(Wondra).
Maybe someday--when I'm very old and terribly confused and can't be
trusted with sharp implements.

In fact, Apple *did* pay a small fee to McIntosh just to head off exactly
this kind of thing all the way back in 1984. The payment was reported in
_BYTE_, or another similar venue.
The computer company vis-a-vis the music company has been touched on else-
where in this thread.
Thanks,

They ARE close enopugh for trademark squabbles.
It is "common knowledge" that Apple Computer paid McIntosh Audio a royalty
for using the name.

A purchase of legal protection, or a PR stunt? I bet a

At the time, the news reports referred to it as having been initiated by
McIntosh Labs.
Does anybody know the details on the Apple Music deal?
At the time, it was touted as a mutual non-competition agreement. That
would seem to preclude "iTunes". Or were there other relevant clauses?
Or did it have an expiration date?

New subject: UPDATE (Back on thread topic)Vintage electronics/HAM radio for sale-Costa Mesa, CA
I visited today, and found a few items.
The dual floppy enclosure is to an incircuit emulator system, discussed
here before, the EZPro. I have one, but the floppy system won't add
much to it. I'd be glad if Steve isn't able to help ship the enclosure,
or the drives & PS.
Kaypro II is still available, missing drives. There is an ATI all in
wonder HD still there (new, but about all left of computer stuff).
The McIntosh is a preamp, and marked $500, and people are helping to be
sure she isn't screwed over by lowball buyers.
Most of the ham equipment went yesterday to a friend who had contacted
here thru a local group of Hams, etc.
Still left (way way off topic) is a Cessna 172. Fellow was not only
into electronics, but had a full machine shop (sold) care overhaul
setup, and the electronics shop.
There is a full size SummaGraphics wall or board type digitizer, about
4' x 8' on a stand. I can throw in an HP Plotter if anyone wants to get
a full large size graphics system. It is set up with RS232 input /
output, and it would be a real shame to have it scrapped. Sadly someone
earlier in the thinning process undervalued it and a full CAD system was
lost. They took it in trade from a client who owed money to another of
their businesses.
This lady has done a fantastic job in the wake of what most of our
families will fail, the death of a big collector. I really want to help
her out, so anything you are interested in, let myself, or Steve know if
we can help. Also interesting to see such an end to a collection,
rather than it foolishly going to the landfill.
I'd say about 2000 sq ft has been cleared by her, and there are about 4
ea 300 sq ft storage units, and the aircraft left.
Oh, and you ask... what did I find. Everyone overlooked the Selectric
on the table, which wasn't just a Selectric. It's a console, with a
winchester (or some sort of) connector on the bottom rear. I rescued it
for hopefully someone's ancient machine to be restored with the correct
hard copy console, and after I contact possible friends about the thing
may be back here. I've been looking for one for a long time, just
because I know they are very rare (looking since about 1980 or so) more
than anything else.

I was going to publish more info here. It is still there.
If someone here doesn't buy it, I'll rescue it to be sure it isn't lost
for now.

What, if anything, became of the IMI 8" hard disk? It's in the

A lot of the equipment is gone, but a very nice large Summagraphics
input system remains. I am posting a pointer to the photos with this.
I apologize for the bitly redirection, but it keeps my actual web URL
out of google, which seems to index this site and pass the info around.

contact Alice directly if interested.
