Another Honkin big Haul

[Dave Dunfield]

Hi guys,

I just returned from the East coast (New Brunswick Canada) where I met
with a gentleman who had a large collection of vintage equipment for
me - Brought back one pickup truck worth, and will be returning next
month for the rest - 1200km each way - by the time I am finished, I
will have travelled nearly 5,000km!

Here's what I received in total:

S-100 systems:
 IMSAI 8080
 NorthStar Horizon
 Cromemco Z-2D
 Cromemco System-3 (Older model with the dual/quad persci drives).
 Compupro 8086 S-100 system
 Wynchester
 Compuduct "Rainbow" (near S-100, has non-standard/tall cards).
 Multiflex mainboard with 4 S-100 slots & CPU card.
 Protec PRO-80 - Canadian SBC with one S-100 slot
 Box with 40-50 S-100 cards - in addition to the systems which are well
 populated - Found a number of Mits and IMS cards, also a Hayes Micromodem
 100 - CPUs, disk controllers, memory etc. - haven't inventoried it all
 yet

non S-100:
 Altos 586
 Dec Rainbow
 Xerox 820-2 (with spare mainboard).
 2x Dy4 Orion-V (STD bus Z80-CP/M system)
 Ohio Scientific SuperBoard-2 (in enclosure)
 Acorn Atom
 Nelma Persona (Canadian CP/M system)
 BMC IF800
 Visual 1050
 MAI Basic Four
 NEC APC
 NEC N5200/05
 Megatel Quark (ultra small Canadian SBC)
 HAL (early Canadian IBM clone)
 Osborne-1 (1st edition "tan")
 Epson PX-8

Also, an ADM-3A terminal (good screen), as well as several boxes of
odd's and ends, and boxes and boxes of documentation and software.
Even got a nice little addition to my calculator section: A "Sinclair
Scientific" complete with hard carry case and manual.

Not quite sure where it's all going to go ...

I also received a disassembled Grid Compas 1101 which had a battery
leak causing irreparable damage to the mainboard - however there are
lots of parts, bubble memory modules, complete documentation and
original disks - if anyone needs any of these parts, please contact
me.

Coupled with the material I acquired in January, I figure this should
keep me busy scanning and archiving for a good long time - Some of the
material I am not very familier with, so I will no doubt be turning to
the list for information from time to time...


Regards,
Dave
