I finally had a chance to get out and hit a few thrifts again. I was
chained in a studio working on an anime, but I'm free again.
Anyway, I found a Xebec Sider harddrive. Was this for the Apple //?
Something was loose inside so I checked and found a small
rectangle filled with some ceramic like stuff and a wire sticking out
of each end inside of the PSU. Can't seem to see anywhere in the
power supply where this thing may have come from but also can't
see how it could have gotten inside if it didn't belong. Not even sure
what it is. Any ideas anyone? Also would like any info on the
drive type, size interface, etc. It is a model 9710H. Looks like I
can pull the drive from the case and hook up a different PSU.
On another note, anyone tell me anything about a handheld unit, I
think it was an LK-3000 or some such, I'll have to go back and
check. The guy wants $50 for it and also has a Tandy Pocket
Computer for $40 I'm thinking of picking up.
Other things I grabbed:
Odyssey2 in box
Coleco Adam in box (damn big box for a home console system)
Atari 1040STf (may sell/trade this as I have one and an STfm too)
Couple of Apple 5.25" drives
Misc software and books
For those of you who were interested in the Mattel Aquarius Data
Recorders, after two months of no replies to my query on where to
drop off the money and pick up the recorders, I have finally given up
on them. They said they accepted my offer but then they just fell
silent. Guess they found someone else with a better offer.
