If you get one of these up and running, I have a Scelbi book, "Space
Wars for the 8008 Microprocessor" with full hex code listings...

New subject: Modem Eliminators
Not sure what the correct term is for these devices but I have seen
"Modem Eliminator" on several. I'm not at all sure I am interested in
keeping all these things. I have about 4 to 6 or so of these Micom
units and probably a few others of some other brand. They look like they
have a serial port and telephone connections. They seem like they were
part of all the larger systems a number of years back and thus seem like
they might be worth saving. Anyone interested?

I also have the three books -
An 8008 Editor Program
Machine Language Programming for the 8008
Assembler Programs for the 8008

Well, I think we are all members of that select group :). In checking
though another box of docs, I found a couple dozen DEC books from the
60's and 70's covering the PDP 11, 11/40, 11/34, 11/45, 16, 20, VAX, and
a bunch of other interesting stuff. This collecting could get to be
addictive :)!

Tell me about it. I can't stop stuffing crap into my garage. Today I
happened to be in the area of my (now favorite) thrift shop and picked up
the following:
Tandy 1000HX with Tandy 300 baud modem, Tandy Mouse, Tandy Disk Storage
case, two Tandy 3.5" disk drives, a Tandy Clock Chip upgrade (all in the
box...I think I got the Tandy Geek's old system).
Two Atari 2600s (one almost complete in the original box), one Atari
2600jr, a bunch of 2600 carts
A box of Intellivision carts
A commodore 64c with disk drive
An Odyssey 4000 (pong games, circa 1978 I believe, very nice).
Two beige TI 99/4a
and some miscellany.
All for $50.00.
So much to sort through, so little time.

New subject: Digilog 1500
It seems every time I turn around, I find something else I either
haven't seen in a while, or don't know anything about it. In this case,
I picked up a brand new Digilog 1500 some number of years ago. It is
not on the "Big List" so does anyone know anything about this? I seem
to recall the guy I bought it from saying it was around $9500 new.
Unfortunately, it came with no docs or software, just a brand new
machine. It is a unit with the keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and
probably the rest of the computer contained in the same case (I haven't
opened it up.) It is about the size of a TRS Model III/IV. Thanks.
