Granted that MINIX cannot compare to Linux when it comes to apps and
support, the reason I suggested it was because he wanted to install it on
386 portables. There are enough apps out there for MINIX for the basics, and
the list grows everyday. Also I was thinking of disk space, MINIX only
requires 30mb of space, so it would be ideal for portables...
As for being simple to install... well, since when did people like us who
collect classic machines worry about anything being simple ;)

Yikes! $200.00! I didn't think it was that much, I was under the
impression that it was in the range of $30.00-$40.00 dollars US. Of course,
I could be mistaken, maybe that is the price for i86 version...
I don't think there are many apps out there for MINIX (as compared to
LINUX) but from what I could see, the list is growing everyday. I think
MINIX would be great for a portable, unless of course the portable is the
only machine you have.

Sounds good, any idea on how much shipping will be to St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada?
I would be intersted in only one Mac Plus, as space is at a premium,
although if you could find a Tandy Model 100 for a comparble price there
(that 80 cents sounds really good) I would appreciate you picking one of
them up as well. Thanks in advance...

I don't think it will "die a horrible death." I emailed them yesterday
when I first saw the newsgroup post and have heard back. I'll have to have
it shipped but I figure it's the price I'll just have to pay. :-) I've
been looking for one of these for years.

There's Model 100 web site that offers free tech help and software for the 100

Can you e-mail it to me?? <g> I didn't realize that it was that lengthy. Is
is broken-down in any way (like by model), or is it a sequential list from
"M0000" to "M9999"? I'd be interested in the sections dealing with the uVAX-I,
uVAX-II, and the PDP-11/34.
Thanks again.

Hi!
You probably already know, but I just found a keen site selling Sinclair
ZX81 kits in the US. Apparantly they opicked up the original kits years
ago, and are only now trying to sell them. I am interested in putting one
of these togeather, as the ZX81 was a fascinating computer, and highly
significant in the Home Computer industry - especially in the UK.
Anyway, it's at:
http://www.users.interport.net/~zebra/ts
and all the standard disclaimers apply. :)
Adam.
I finally managed to get one of these yesterday, including a number of
carts and a cassette drive, but there was no official power supply with it.
Instead I found a 9 volt DC supply mixed in the cables in the shop, but I
am not entirly certain if it is for this computer. It is likely, but I
don't feel like taking any risks. The Atari FAQ says that it took a 9v AC
supply in the US, but the plug on this one looks like a DC plug, and the
comments on the European version seemed to suggest that it used a DC
supply. Does anyone know what would be appropriate to use in Australia?
Thanks heaps,
Adam.
