To add to my burgeoning collection, I must admit after joining this list I
don't go past a 'second-hand' store without going in for a look :-)

Over the last couple of weeks i've acquired..

* Various dumb terminals VT220's etc, some work some don't

* An Apple IIc complete with monitor etc, now suitable modified with a
4-pin power plug to accomodate a PC 12v supply, and a DB-25 attached
directly to the board for serial comms to my PC. Interestingly this IIc is
an original motherboard, but with a Crystal hand-wired onto the board in
place of the 74LS chip, thus avioding the IIc serial problem. I'll get
around to documenting this mod soon, as I have not seen it anywhere.

* A Mac+ suitable for conversion to a MacQuarium

* A rather interesting Barcode reader/analyser with some form of
microprocessor, an Intermec Trakker 9440, the Battery is totally dead, and
I can't seem to find any info on the power supply voltage and as such
haven't been able to power it up, but it's 10 years old (date 1988), at
least I should be able to do something with the barcode wand. Anyone got
any info on these?

* A DEC TK50Z (found at the local recycling centre, and works fine)

Cheers
Karl
