Hi there. My name is Jason Simpson. I'm a 25 year old Seattle-based geek
that likes to scrounge around thrift stores looking for cool old
technology. I've been collecting this stuff since I was 16. I've owned some
of it since I was 13.
Here's a brief summary of some of the things I own:
Tandy Model 16 (dual 8" drives. I'd really like to run CP/M on this!)
Tandy Model 4P (with flakey and ENORMOUS 5 meg harddisk)
Tandy Model 100 (x2, one is broken)
Tandy Micro Color Computer MC-10 (x2)
Tandy Color Computer 3 (x3 or 4, at least one is broken, couple of disk
drives)
Tandy Pocket Computer (PC-1? broken/bad battery)
Tandy PC-3 pocket computer (plus printer)
Tandy PC-6 pocket computer
Texas Instruments TI-74 BasiCalc pocket computer
Casio FX-702P pocket computer (plus printer and cassette interface)
Hewlett Packard 75C (broken/bad battery)
DEC VT102 terminal
DEC VT220 terminal
Wyse 60 terminal
Commodore 128 (broken, and my fault at that -- blown SID)
Commodore 128D
Amiga 500 (broken)
Amiga 2000 (with harddisk)
Amiga 3000
Apple IIc (x2)
Apple IIgs (x2)
Laser 128 (Apple IIc clone)
Macintosh Plus
Outbound Systems notebook (portable '030 Mac clone w/ Plus ROMs, won't recharge)
Timex Sinclair 2068 (screwy but usuable video. For some reason, I find this one
especially captivating even though I have no software or peripherals for it)
There's more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
In general, last time I looked, these all work unless mentioned otherwise.
Of course, I'd like to fix or replace the broken items.
Some things I'd like to find:
Model 16 stuff:
CP/M (CP/M-68k?) on 8" disks **
Harddisk **
Network card (did it do Ethernet, or only Arcnet?)
Color Computer stuff:
OS/9 disks **
RAM expansion
Multicartridge adapter
Accelerator
Commodore 64/128 stuff:
REU (RAM Expansion Unit)
Multicartridge adapter (did they make these? I haven't seen one)
Accelerator
Serial accelerator
SuperSnapshot 5 cartridge **
Harddisk
Apple II(gs) stuff:
IIgs accelerator
SCSI card **
Apple IIc+ (I've only seen one of these once)
Amiga stuff:
Amiga 1200 **
Accelerator
** I really want these. :)
I also collect video game systems. Of these, some of the ones I'm most
interested in find more stuff for are: Atari 7800(/2600), Atari 5200, Sega
Master System, Commodore CD32, 3DO, NES.
I'm currently playing with the C= 128D. Dug out my old 1581 disk drive and
some disks. Whoo that's a fun machine, but I need a fastloader cartridge. :)
