Is anyone interested in a Zenith Inteq computer? I have four available.
They were used by the U.S. government and are heavily 'shielded'
computers. They contain a 286 on a daughter-board, not sure how the
motherboard is. Also have 2 360k floppy drives and one internal 10 meg
Seaquest tape backup drive in it. Also have a bunch of tapes.
Interestingly, there is a buffer on the back, meaning everything that
plugs into the ports on the back, actually go through about a 4 inch
buffer cable into the actual ports.
These things are heavy, and fairly large. Please send any offers my way.
Remember, I do have four of these units available... all in working
condition.
Thanks,
CORD COSLOR

Does anyone have the (Apple) Koala Pad driver disk? One of my customers has
a bad disk.

Would a skinny ballerina wear a one-one?
I have the following items for sale (possible trade)
TRS-80 model 4 - this unit is nearly functional but I'm comsidering
parting it out. It has a great motherboard, power
supply, video section, floppy drives. The keyboard is damaged in that
two keys are broken and it needs the ram changed due to a bad chip. If
someone wants the entire thing they can have it for $15 plus shipping
(42 lbs shipping weight). I'd take 4 1meg parity 30 pin SIMMs for it
plus shipping as well. I want to see if I get any responses on the
entire unit before I decide to split it up.
Commodore 64 (older style, not 64C) - I have a bunch of these units, in
working condition. I'll sell a 1541 drive, C64 and power supply (no
cables) for $20 plus shipping. The entire unit weight is roughly 20 lbs.
Commodore printers - I have various Commodore printers for sale as well.
Drop me a line if interested.
Apple ImageWriter II (color) printer - great condition, with 25 pin to 8
pin cable. $30 plus shipping.
Apple external 5.25" floppy drives - like new set of two. One marked
drive 1 and the other drive 2. Serial cables are attached. $30 for the
set of two plus shipping.
Mac 512k set complete - Original Mac 512k with 400k internal floppy,
software, manuals, color thermal printer. Needs an alignment or
replacement on the floppy drive. Instructions on upgrading the memory to
1mb using stacked DRAMs included. $90 plus shipping for all of it.
Panasonic Sr. Partner 8088 "portable" computer. 512k ram, Two 5.25"
floppies, green composite crt. All original except printer was removed.
Otherwise a great machine. One open 8 bit expansion slot. $50 plus
shipping (approx 25-30 lbs).
Original IBM 5150 PC - original IBM keyboard, original IBM mono monitor.
Terrific condition, floppy based. $50 plus shipping
I also have SLOUGHS of various older parts for PS/2's and other older
machines to include MFM, ESDI, IDE hard disks, half and full height
floppies, option cards, network cards, yada, yada, yada...Drop me a line
if you're looking for something.
While this is a "business" it's actually a formalized part time hobby
for me to pick up a few bucks with a hobby. I keep my prices as
reasonable as possible so that the old "relics" can keep on going, and
going, and going......

Thanks...I've already e-mailed Dave Baldwin. I'm a TCJ subscriber (as

Damn, another resource gone the way of the Compaticard.

Would anyone be interested in working on an IBM S/36 emulator for Linux?
I'm not a S/36 guru, but I have several, one 5363 up and running and about
10 years of experience hacking C (please don't throw any gimpelesque C
programming problems at me, I'm not up for it right now <g>).
I'm not ready to roll yet, but if anyone's interested I can start gabbing
about it and collecting info. I want to install and play with a couple of
the emulators that are floating around out there as well as collect
information on the instruction set, etc.
As far as periphs are concerned, we can get lift the OS (SSP) and microcode
(if it's even needed) off a 5.25" set of the distribution diskettes from a
standard PC floppy drive. I don't even want to think about 8", although it
could be done with the the Microtech FDC and a driver.
Just a thought.

Allison,
I agree. Find an original classic and bring it back to life. But this
is my subjective viewpoint (as well). If one wants to frankenstein a
machine that is entirely their business, there is no right or wrong to
this hobby and I can only speak for myself. I also restore old radios
and televisions. Some fellow enthusiasts will take an old television
cabinet and place a new color chassis in it, others refinish cabinets
to look brand new. There are cases where an incorrect chassis is added
to a set to get it working because the original is unobtainable. It is
all subjective and up to the individual.
Marty

I'm likely one of the few that could build a TRS-80/altair/? clone and
use unused parts all of the correct age! My spares bin is that deep and
old. To me there is no point, I can find an original and bring it back to
life easier.

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 beta -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN
I couldn't find my old catalog for these folks but I got a new one in the
mail today. They have an 800 phone number, it's 1-800-451-7454. They also
have a website at "www.goldmine-elec.com". Tell them I send you, maybe
they'll give me a discount :-) This is the place that had the pens for the
Radio Shack pen plotters.
Joe
BASF model 6106, part #54670
Looks like a HD, connected to a floppy with a
ribbon cable, which then goes to the motherbd.
Found in what appears to be a homebrew TRS80-type
puter with LNW expansion board.
Thanx in advance for any help.
I'd also be interested in any advice as to where
to list this Beast for sale. (weese(a)mind.net)

I remember building embedded control systems with these D5 cards back in
the early eighties. You are right, it is an evaluation system,
but it was often used for simple prototypes and small production runs.
Motorola priced it relatively cheap so engineers could gain familiarity
with the 6802, which was an "update" of the classic 6800 processor. The
6802 incorporated the 2-phase clock generator circuitry onchip-- you
used to have to add a nuisance clock circuit to make the 6800 run. I
think the 6802 also included 256 bytes of RAM (but my recollection's
fuzzy on this point.) Since the board also included a little
debug/monitor program in PROM, using that hex keypad and display, you
could learn a lot about the instruction set just by hooking up a power
supply and playing. It was a lot like the KIM or AIM-65 boards for the
6502 cpu.
Does the D5 have a large set of edge connect fingers (like, say, 86
contacts or something like that)? I can't remember...
Other Motorola evaluation kits, like the D2 (a predecessor of your D5,
also based on the 6802 cpu but built as 2 boards--the keypad was
separate) had a full electrical interface to Motorola's ExorBus, which
was their proprietary general-purpose microsystem bus. They made a full
range of heavy-duty industrial boards for ExorBus, and their development
systems used it too, so you could build full-blown microsystems with
their board sets. This was a competitor to Intel's Multibus in the
industrial control market. You could take a D2, when you got tired of
playing with it as an evaluation system, detach the keyboard, and plug
it in to an ExorBus as the cpu card.
It's barely possible I've got some old docs hiding at home... I'll check.
