Hacker Toys

On a whim, I just bought a small box of handhelds from DHL (the shipping
folks). A few Symbol 1510's (one 128K, the others 64K), two MSI/85's, a
few laser scanners, and one light pen. Other than dead batteries, they
seem to work. They currently contain EPROMs that contain an uninteresting
(to me) shipping program.

These promise to provide hours of fun if I can find some information about
them. I'd like to trade a couple of these pups away in an effort to get
them into the hands of capable hackers (or anybody that wants to start
their own shipping business, I suppose).

Send me an offer if you want one. I'll try to take some digital pix this
weekend to better convey their leather-covered full alphanumeric LCD
coolness.
