Well, I'm hurt. :-)

You should have come to me first. I have a Model 16 (two actually, but
one is jsut for parts.) I have TRSDOS, TRSDOS-II, TRSDOS-16 (which you
can't run) and both the Z80 and 68K versions of UCSDPascal. Come to
think of it, I also have Pickles & Trout CPM around here somewhere.
Oh wait, I also have Xenix for the Model-16. What a collection.

So, you want a couple of Model-16's with all the stuff that goes with them??
One of these days the list will get big enough for you to make the trip
down here to pick this stuff up. :-)
