 Hang me 'ead in shame. Unfortunately like most collectors with
large inventories there's always a mammoth amount of items on
the "to fix" list and priority comes from inclination. My machines
are for playing with, not to look at, so I usually immerse myself
in the platform I'm working on at the time I'm repairing it or getting
it up and running. Otherwise the memory banks have you cursing
out an e.g: CPM machine when it doesn't respond to DOS
commands or connections. When stymied in my efforts it goes on
the back shelf until coming to the top of my list again. Lately my
main efforts have been directed to paring down my collection of
duplicates or uninteresting to me puters and parts. LOL :^)

 I've seen Ira's site as well as Tim Manns excellent one.
Hope he can find the mirror. To my mind we could use more
useable stuff like that and much less vanity ones.

 For TRS80 m.II, Kees Stravers remarkable site has THE
definitive section on the model II

Fritz Chwolka who's a list regular also has a lot of info on the m.II
Sorry, I couldn't find his URL. (enlighten me Fritz if you see this)
