I have begun to open up the boxes that I got this Saturday and found some
more interesting stuff. Boy, this is like Christmas and only better
(People don't send me junk as Christmas presents).
There is a mint-condition Epson HX-20 stashed in the bottom of a box. It
comes complete with the hard case, PS, serial cable, and a set of manuals.
The system works but it seems that the battery won't hold a charge. I will
probably need to swap out the internal NiCads before it can be a real
portable.
I found another handheld device named "Trans Term." It's about the size of
a HP-71 but thicker. It has a membrane QWERTY keyboard. The LCD can
probably display only a few lines at most. It has a DB25 port (probably
for a modem) and a power-in jack. There is no other identification or
marking. I have not tried to power it up since I don't have the PS. Does
anyone know something about it?
For many years, I thought Microsoft released Flight Simulator as their only
game. I was wrong. I found a game that Microsoft released for TRS-80
Level 1 BASIC named Microsoft Olympic Decathlon. The game is on tape. The
manual is copyright 1980. It has the old Microsoft logo on it.
