I am preparing to haul a bunch of micro junk to RCS/RI this weekend, and
found some extras in the box. Here we go:

* SWTPC MP-01 6800 Computer System, Aug 75.
Apparently this was the early "sales" document, with descriptions and
prices for the various boards and things. Included is a Q and A section,
with inqueries like "What type terminal do I use?", and "When can I expect
to get delivery?". The original order form is still attached to the back,
butif you fill it out, I doubt you will get a computer! 8.5" x 11", about
15 pages.

* SWTPC Computer Peripherals, Jul 76.
Another catalog, this time with pictures for extras like the AC-30, PR-40,
and GT-61. Also included is the announcment of the CT-1024 terminal
system. For some reason the back cover has been cut oddly - perhaps a flaw
from the printers. 8.5" x 11", about 15 pages.

* Ready for Business, no date.
This is a four page pamphlet showing the whole SWTPC system - CPU, floppy
box, AC-30 cassette interface, printer, and terminal, as well as the DMAF1
1 Megabyte Disk System (basically a dual 8" drive box). 8.5" x 11", 4
pages.

* SWTPC Computer Products catalog, Dec 76.
Basically like the first item on this post, but in a smaller format. 6" x
9", about 15 pages.

* SWTPC Computer Products catalog, May 78.
Again, like the first item, but now with more stuff (and a better
quality job on the document!), but in a smaller format. 6" x
9", about 15 pages.

All of this stuff looks sort of cheesy, as some of it was printed before
the computers were actually shipping. Most have dates scribbled on them
from the previous owner, Owen Davis, who also put his name on several
pieces. Nothing of these scribbles, however, are messy or annoying. All of
the things are in pretty good shape, with no bad creases or
significant rips.

I guess will make this best offer. I would prefer to sell it as a lot.
Lets give this until Monday afternoon - then I will decide the winner(s).

Trades are possible - basically old mainframey and super type things and
paper are wanted. Trades with bribes are also possible!
