Hi folks,

Am new to this list, hope I post this msg correctly.

I have two working Epson computers, a I (an 8088) and a II+ (a 286). Both
have hard drives, I believe a 20 and a 40, respectively. I have original OS
disks, manuals, etc.

They are solidly built, classics (I guess they meet that definition!) and I
got them cuz I thought Epson printers were so well-built (still have an
MX80, btw, maybe someone wants that). Turns out the Epson computers were not
100% IBM compatible, they had some proprietary features as in the keyboard,
floppy controllers I think, and maybe a couple of other items.

I cut my computer teeth on these guys, and miss the days when you could get
under the hood of a computer and fix 'em yourself!

Anyway, I've been advised to chuck 'em in the alley but I really hate to do
that. Would like to find 'em a good home. Are they worth anything to anyone,
and if so how much? I will trust the fairness of the group here in
establishing their worth... maybe they're not worth that much, but they'd be
a pain to pack. I don't have the original cartons :( but maybe someone would
pay what it would cost me to dump 'em (gently) on the counter at the local
MailBox and say to the guy "pack 'em up".

TIA!

 ... Paul
