Howdy:

I picked up a few things today, and was wondering if anyone might have
some feedback on this snag... including some more information on some of
the items.

To start with, I paid a total of $44 for the following. Feel free to let
me know if I got a good deal... or not.

1) Odyssey 2 game system from Magnavox (Phillips). This comes with the
original box, power supply, joysticks, TV converter box, etc. Also in this
package is the THE VOICE expansion unit that allows voice output from the
cartridge software. The unit itself is in _perfect_ condition! Thirteen
game carts also came with this unit: Alien Invaders-Plus!, Computer Golf!,
Attack of the Timelord!, Invaders From Hyperspace!, Speedwar, Spin-Out,
Crypto-logic (the last three on one cart), Killer Bees!, KC'sKrazy Chase!,
Sid the Spellbinder!, Type & Tell!, Football!, Nimble Numbers Ned,
Bowling, Basketball (the last two on same cart), UFO!, and KC Munchkin!.
Along with these carts are all the original boxes, in great shape, and the
original manuals and countless other inserts! Does anyone know what the
'going' rate for a package like this might be these days? Also, does
anyone have any inside info. on why ALL their titles end with an ' ! '??

2) Commodore Solid State Electronic Calculator Model # 887D seriel
#099632. I am seeking more
information on this one. It's just a small digital (old style, lights
actually are lit for numbers, etc.) calculator. This came with original
manual, inserts, power supply, and box. I wasn't able to find a
manufactured date, but on one of the instruction addition inserts, it is
dated 10-1-1975. Please let me know if you might have more info. on this
one. Also, let me know if there are any die-hard Commodore collectors that
might be interested in purchasing this from me.

3) I found 60, six boxes of 10, 8" diskettes. These boxes are the heavy,
plastic
boxes that the top is spring-loaded to pop off. The disks are in mint
condition and are unlabled. However, some of the boxes are labeled such
things as 'daily backups', C, D, E, etc., and seems to be some accounting
or other business disks. Can someone help me out and give some info on
what types of machines used these? I know the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model
2,12, & 16 used these 8" disks but what others did? Is anyone interested
in buying these up from me? I don't have a heck of a lot of use for them.

Well, that's about all. Feel free to contribute any of the requested
info., and anything else you'd like. Do you think I did ok financially on
this deal? Also, if you're interested in getting 2 & 3 from above please
let me know.... I will entertain ANY offers.

Finally, I am also looking for any Atari 400 cassettes or cartridges. I
don't have a disk drive, but am looking for one. Let me know what you have
and how much you'd let 'er go fo, and we'll work something out. Also,
looking for old TRS-80 software on disk and cassette, or CoCo cartridges,
some keep that in mind as well.

Thanks a ton for your time,

CORD G. COSLOR
