Hi all...
I picked up a CGL M5 and original rubber-keyed 48K Spectrum
(complete with V23 modem!) a couple months back for a fiver.
The M5 is in very good condition and complete with three cartridges
and numerous original manuals all in perfect condition. It also came
with a tape which i had a little play with today but i can't get
anything but the first program (a screen colour test) to load :-(
Looking at the tape it seems like its been through a dodgy tape deck
at some stage as the tape itself has a couple of deep grooves in it.
So, has anyone got a good tape they could copy for me? For
information it's a grey cassette housing with a purple, green and
white striped label marked "GAME" at the top and "Baseball, ZAC
BANIC" at the bottom on both sides. I'm located in the UK and would
happily send you a cheque to cover the cost of a blank tape and
postage.
TIA...Nick.

"Bother" said Pooh, as he deleted his root directory.
OK, here's what I came up with this weekend:
- Atari 800 in *perfect* condition with AC adapter and RF modulator (the
latter two in their original boxes), with a full complement of RAM & ROM
cards installed, and the original BASIC cartridge. Got this on my first
stop! After that it was all gravy.
- Three (3) Mattel Aquarius machines (these are quite rare, at least
around here--got 3 in one place!! Weird!) with captive power supplies
- Timex-Sinclair ZX1000 with RAM expansion pack
- Spectravideo SV-328 in original color display box, with data cassette
drive, also in original box (I've never actually seen one of these "in
the flesh" before)
- TI 99/4A original black/silver version, mint, in original color
display box, with PS, RF modulator, manuals, etc. replacing my existing
TI 99/4A that was all banged up
- TI 99/4A original black/silver version with 2 perfect joysticks, voice
synthesizer, PS, RF modulator (didn't need the machine itself,
obviously, but the whole box worth was only $6)
- TI 99/4A *expansion bay* (another rare piece) with flex cable card,
RS232 card, 32K RAM card, and disk controller card, with one 5 1/4"
floppy drive. Geez, this sucker weighs as much as an S100 bus machine!
- TRS-80 Color Computer 1 in mint condition, replacing my existing CoCo1
that had significant wear
- Rare Donkey Kong and Moon Patrol Atarisoft carts for the TI 99/4A
- Non computer related: Raiders of the Lost Ark on RCA Selectavision CED
Videodisc, mint
Nothing like another thrift store weekend in the obscure corners of the
Seattle/Tacoma/Everett metroplex!

Please, Sam. Would you stop using the title "yo" for all your messages? It
makes life very difficult for those of us who get the digest version and
only read some selected messages. Put something nice and descriptive
instead.
On a similar note, when someone replies to a digest, don't use the name of
the digest as the subject.

Subject: Trade Sun for Atari ST?
Date: Friday, May 02, 1997 9:25PM
Someone in LA "Miscellaneous Lists" <lists(a)phx6.phxmedia.com> wanted to
trade a Sun 3 for my Atari ST. I have sent a few emails, but have
received no response. If you are still interested, contact me via
email.
If anyone else (in Northern/Central) California would like to trade
old Sun/Unix/interesting machines/equipment/software for an Atari ST,
let
me know. I would prefer not to ship this stuff since it is pretty heavy
and fills several cubic feet.

Here is the list of stuff:
1 Atari 1040STF
3 SH204 Harddisks
1 SF314 Floppy drive
1 SF854 Floppy drive
1 SC1224 Monitor (color)
2 STM1 Mouse
1 Marconi RB2 Trackball
1 Standard Atari joystick
There are also a bunch of cables for connecting everything togther,
10 or so magazines, a BASIC manual, 10 or so floppy disks, and what
I believe are schematics for the monitor.

This is a 3k ram expansion (obviously) plus a ROM with additional
BASIC commands to make graphics and sound a bit easier. It also
gives the ability to map commands to the function keys. I probably
have the manual in a box downstairs. If you really want a photocopy
I could get one to you.

Actually, I believe the ZX-81 came out in 1981, as shown below. I bought
my Timex-Sinclair in late 1982, if I remember correctly. Also, the
documentation that was included with the ZX-81 I have has letters from
Sinclair Research dated March 10, 1982, as well as a review of the ZX-81 in
Englad dated August 1981. Two interesting things about this:
1) the ZX-81 I have was originally delivered in kit form and still has the
assembly diagrams and such;
2) The magazine review, taken from "Personal Computer World" and
re-published in "Creative Computing", November 1981, states that at the time,
the ZX-81 was available in England but not yet in the U.S.

Sam,
Just in case you're interested, I do have the original
Corona-specific versions of MS-DOS for their machines, both 1.25 and 2.11.
I would think you'd be able to boot it with just about any 5-1/4" boot disk
though, as I know of someone that got a new Pentium to boot with the Corona
2.11 disk, so there doesn't seem to be anything odd in the bios calls at
boot up. There do appear to be some Corona-specific utilities on them though.

OOPS! I have a Motorola-based Altair... (Altair 680)
Maybe we can feature it? (Just kidding, but I thought
I should point out your slight error.)
