I received a call saying there was a few old commodores to rescue.
I called and he mentioned a couple of 64's, a vic 20 and a B128.
I pick up several boxes, when I get them open there is a Pet 4032 inside
one of them with the B128 keyboard. there is a 103 modem, and another
bookshelf worth of games, programs and a bunch of old Popular Electronics
and Radio-electronics including one with an article entitled 'Hobby
computer Main-Frames'. Lot's of extra cables a few dongles, a D9090 hard
drive, . A capture card 2 beat up 64's.

New subject: Thrift Shops in TampaBay
Is anyone aware of any thrift shops in the TampaBay area that are a good
place to get old computer items?

Nice.
...a D9090 hard drive...
If you didn't already know, you can drop in an ST-241 if the TM603S in
there is dead. If all you have is an ST-225, you can move a jumper on
one of the boards in there, to turn a D9090 into a D9060 and only use
4 heads.
There's a low-priority project afoot to completely disassemble the ROMs,
but in the meantime, some success has been made with patching the drive
tables to achieve near the 16MB limit of the filesystem. Until then,
many more modern MFM mechanisms will work with those boards at their
original 5.0MB or 7.5MB capacity.
