Hi,

   Mike Haas came down from jacksonville and we went to the first day of
the Orlando hamfest. Mike scored big time! No less than 6 different TRS
computers. Several are like new and in their original boxs with all the
books. He also bought several other interesting toys!

  I picked up all five of the original E&L BugBooks. Only on looks like it
was ever touched. The others are all in PERFECT condition. I also picked
up another HP 3468 digital multimeter with the HP-IL interface. :-) Also
several NEW manuals for the HP 85 computer. Also several Tektronix manuals
relating to HP-IB programming using the Tektronic 4051 computer. Also found
the user's manual for the Tektronix 4662 plotter that I have to go with my
4051. Also found a 1982 Tektronix catalog, you can guess what it shows :-)
Other finds include some kind of CPU board with a 1802 Cosmac CPU, a HP 97
manual and a Heathkit 4804 Byte probe. However the most surprising find
was five boxs full of Intel 1702 EPROMs. In one box I found several ICs
marked "AMD AM9217APC". I can't find a reference to them, does anyone know
what they are? Also they say "Proto" below the IC number. Does that mean
that these are prototypes?
