Hi, Sam
It's a pleasure to help you in building the tech-sheets to be shown in
the Festival
near the machines.

I have studied your list, and divided in two: for the first I will try
to give you extended informations, for the second, I will give the
specifications I own, ONLY if required (=if anyone will supply complete
infos ).

Here follow the first group.

 Apple Computer Macintosh Plus M0001A
R.Romagnoli
 Atari Atari 520ST 520ST
R.Romagnoli
 Olivetti M10
R.Romagnoli
 ^^^^^^^^
(obviously)

This is the second group:
I think that if anyone else has extended info on those, is better he
will care instead
of me.
Anyway i can give short infos like:CPU,Operating System,available
configurations,video res.,ports,official price at that period here in
Italy.

If any info will come about these model, please e-mail wich are missing
and I will reply.
