I'm forwarding this information from a fellow who sent me an email asking
if I was interested in his computer. I'm not, but I told him I'd forward
his contact information. Please reply to him for requests about more
information. Based on his area code, it looks like he is in or near
Houston, TX.

Thanks.

Please advise me as to whether you may be interested in a very early
model (circa 1976) 0f an Intel 8080 based microcomputer system with dual 8"
Shugart diskette drives with 2 digit serial numbers, and a Centronic model
700 RO printer serial 086?
The original maker was an engineer from Warner Swayze Corp., Cleveland Ohio,
Abe Zeewe. The operation system was ISIS, the programming language was a
pseudo-fortran. I programmed a prescription processing application for a
retail pharmacy.

If you need additional information, please let me know.

I would very much like for you to pass my info around.
I don't know if it still works. This machine was a prototype developed for
Realistic Control Corp. of Cleveland. I developed the software. The
translator and the operating system are still on the machine. The last time
it ran was around 1980. There are many items inside that are hand wired.
To permit additional air flow, the engineer cut an "X" in the front of the
case, which was covered by 4 layers of gauze bandage acting as the filter.
I am asking for an amount commensurate with the historical value plus
shipping. I am also including the Centronic model 700 RO printer (serial #
086) and an Ann Arbor terminal. I may also have wiring schematics
available. Side note: I remember personally running jumpers from various
pins on the processor to make the machine work.
