Weekend Scavenging

Yep, it was another profitable weekend scavenging mission!

The stats:
New Machines: 5
New Periphs: 3
New Manuals: 2
New Disks/Software: 60+
Money Spent: $32

So... help me with this stuff! These are all machines I've
never had before.

1. Franklin Ace 500. Seems to be a really nice Apple II clone.
Problem is I don't have a power supply. Any chance the ratings
are the same as a IIc supply?

2. Tandy Color Computer. Boasts a whopping 4k! Fixed a broken
keyboard - now all I have to do is find some software.

3. Atari 800xl! Oops, I lied earlier. I used to have one and
now have one again. It was new, still-shrinkwrapped!

4. Televideo 950 terminal. Seems to be a nice terminal for one
of my cp/m boxes.

5. HP Series 100. This one doesn't currently work. It will
probably be a project for some upcoming weekend. Anyone know
what it is? Very strange little machine...

Also picked up a commodore printer and 1571 disk drive. It
was a good weekend ;)
