These are relatively small boxes, i.e. on the order of the AT&T 6300's, but
not purely rectangular in front profile. They are brown in color (just a
guess, as I'm "chromatically challenged" and somewhat larger than the AT&T
box.
By the way, it seems to me that we (you and I ) were discussing ( via email
) the transfer of a number of S-100 components I was planning to discard.
I was pretty sick back then, about a year ago, but now that the MD is on
top of what's wrong I'm more or less functional again. You were, ( I
believe ) interested in various S-100 video boards I have. One of them is
a Microangelo, but was hacked by a friend and later given to me. I'd be
happy to take up that discussion again, if you're interested. As before,
all I want is the cost of packaging and shipping. I've had these for a
long time and don't use them and, in many cases, never have.
Last summer I donated ten or a dozen terminals and nearly as many
daisywheel printers to the local thrift store (a charitable organization)
just to take the writeoffs. I paid lots of $$$ for some of this stuff and
don't just want to toss it, so, I'm looking for a "good" home.
regards,
Dick
