Zane:
I'd be interested in your IMSAI 8080, particularly if it had any S100 "extras" in it.
But I am in Chicago. Would if be able to convince you ship it somehow ?$?
Everyone:
I just found this mailing list and "subscribed" yesterday.
I am stunned by all of the activity on it.
I have been thinking about firing up my old Altair 8800 (early model).
I talked my Dad into getting it for me when I was 13 years old and my brother and I
learned a lot with it.
So does anyone have any tips on firing up this old monster ?
It it rather precious to me and I don't want to blow it up.
I guess I should just take out all of the cards and check out the power supply first.
I have heard that old capacitors can dry up and fail catastrophically -- but I think that this applies
to the 1950's capacitors, not the 1970's ones.
I still have the original "Altair Basic" on a paper tape with a manual made on a mimeograph-type
machine by the "Microsoft Corporation" of Redmond Washington.
Anyone out there have some other interesting 8080 software ?

Subject: Update: Computer Rescue needed in Portland, OR
I figured I'd update people on the status of the systems I'm getting rid
of. Thanks to a local collector I was able to get everything but the
actual junk out of the unit I was trying to get rid of. I even managed to
get rid of the junk a little latter, and the unit itself. All this without
loosing any classic computers, even common ones. So now the crunch is off,
but I'm still looking to find local takers for the following stuff. As I
still need to get a bunch of stuff out of the remaining two units (for one
thing I'd like to eventually get down to one unit).
A note on the items with the '$' by them. As I'd said before I'm looking
for some money for or some Sun or DEC stuff that I can use (fairly
modern in other words). These are items that I've spent real money on,
and/or rather like so if I can't recover what I've spent on them, I'll be
keeping them. On some items this means I don't want to much, on others,
quite a bit.

RULE1: These systems are for *local pickup* only. I quite simply do not
have time to ship stuff.
RULE1A: If you're going to be paying for something I can mark items as
being for a certain person and will hold onto them for a reasonable
amount of time until they can pick them up if they're going to be
in this area.
RULE2: Systems sold as is.
