I recently aquired a stack of c64's, these are the old brown type. Of (4),
One works fine, 1 boots, and can run catridges, initializes the floppy on
boot, but can never access it after boot, the other two have power but no
video. Any ideas on these folks?
Just did a couple minor updates to the web page, added scans of pics
of the Educator 64 and SuperPET (with the case opened so you can see
what makes em tick), some commodore calculators, and a scan of the cover
of Popular Science from Oct. 1977 which I believe is of one of the
prototype PETs (non-steel, rounded casing).
Oh, added a link to the Vintage computer faire too. ;)

HI,
I have an IMSAI IMP48, it's a single board computer made around late 77-78
using an 8048/8035 micro controller chip. The board is operational but I
lack DOCs.
Any DOCs on this would be helpful as it has relay and opto isolated I/O
for control use. It also does audio cassette IO as well. I've used it for
simple tasks but more detailed info would allow me to copy it and use the
copy for the task and preserve the board.

There here the twin cities and no I have not seen a MAC portable there yet.
As for the Model 100's 6 of them went for 80 cent each about four weeks ago
and they had doc's, software and other items with them, I walked in 10
minutes too late. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I may be able to get the drive mounts for you at the cost of shipping. I
will check with Ken next week and see if the parts box was shipped off to be
trashed yet.

If you need the Sun monitor let me know as a load of them mono and color
were trashed a week ago. Several places here are dumoing them along with
3/50's, 3/60's and 3/80's.
I picked up a few for my collection but have no software are HD for any of
them. I picked a Sun HD unit for 5.00 but got home to find the HD was gone
