This was a great sale - luckily Dan V made sure I didn't have to worry
about starting a collection of HP desktops - given my packrat
tendencies, smaller is definitely better!

Here's what I brought home -

- MMD-2 Microcomputer Design set - pretty sure Jon Titus was _not_
involved with this model, but I'm looking forward to talking to him
about it at VCF-East
- 4 HP 1611A Logic State Analyzers, each with a different interface
option - Z80, 6800, 6502 and "generic"
- box of HP 1630 Logic Analyzer General Purpose Interfaces (6 10269A, 3
10269B), all with the 6809/6809E personality card and half of them with
6809 chips still in place
- F8 microprocessor probe (HP p/n 01611-62104)
- box of 14 early 1970's Data I/O Programmer interface cards (1702/2102
vintage)
- Xerox 2700 PAR-EBCDIC 64K cartridge (p/n 9R22283 101S04653)
- 2 shrink wrapped boxes of 8" Wabash disks
- boxed copy of Lotus 123
- big box of '70s dated ICs, transistors, caps, ferrite beads, trim
pots, resistors, etc. - many Motorola parts (much of the equipt was
ex-Moto)

What I missed - what Dan got and a Pachinko game.

It was great to meet Dan and chat; I missed him in Dayton, but hooked up
with Dan Cohoe there, another good guy.

If anybody is interested in the F8 probe or Xerox cartridge, they're
yours for the shipping cost (both are small). I'd like to get $10 each
for the HP 10269x/6809 interfaces - I'll put them on VCF if noone here
is interested.
