Something I've wanted for quite a while is a Sony SMC-2000 computer with
the LDP-2000 laserdisc player. Today I finally got it! This unit had
been used by a local school and they needed to get rid of it. It came
with some laserdiscs and ... four service manuals for both the computer
and laserdisc player! Apparently this runs MS-DOS 2.11 and I don't think
that came with it. But unless that is a special OEM version of MS-DOS,
it won't be a problem. Also included were 8 laserdiscs including three
volumes of Dream Machine and two volumes of Space Archive discs.

They also had several shrinkwrapped packages of IBM DOS 3.30, and I put
one of them on VCM. Also listed on VCM was a copy of the IBM Guide to
Operations for the Personal Computer XT, and Volume 1 of the Hardware
Maintenance and Service for the Personal Computer XT (these are
duplicates of what I already have.) BTW, the money received for these
will go back to the school computer lab.

They had quite a bit of stuff that will either be sold or sent to that
great storage location in the sky. It looked like there were quite a few
ISA sound cards, network hubs (10 Mb/sec), etc.
