OK, I MUST clean out the study & seein' I haven't used my beloved CoCo in some time, sadly, I recon they have to go. The short list is 2 complete CoCo 3 systems & enough to build a 3rd. #1 is 512k CoCo3, 2 x hard drives (120m & 20m) 3 x floppies (80t, 40t & 80t x3.5") setup solely to rum RiBBS & did so for about 10 years under various configurations. #2 is 512k CoCo 3, 1 x 90m hard drive, 2 x floppies (40t & 80t). This was my personal system & full of just about every game & utility you can think of. The slightly longer list (which includes the above & a quick scan of the shelves) 3 x CoCo3's (2 x 512k, 1 x 128k). 2 x CM8 monitors. 1 x IBM JX monitor modified for the CoCo (fantastic pic). 1 x DS96B video digitiser. 1 x Digisector video digitiser. 2 x RS232 packs (1 custom built & 1 original). 2 x multipacks. 1 x DMP136 colour printer. 1 x CGP115 plotter, with spare pens (printers' fine, pen condition unknown) 1 x touch pad. 2 x modems (2400 & 9600 baud) Plenty of spare floppy drives, MFM hard drives, IBM MFM controllers, B&B interface adaptors (about 15 boards & bits to finish them). A truck load of software & manuals & magazines (Rainbow, Color Computer News, Hot CoCo & sprinkling of others). If you've read down this far you must be interested. All of this is going for free (but I wouldn't turn down a donation) The catch .... I'm in Melbourne Australia. I'll leave any organising up to any interested persons. -- Australia isn't "down under", it's "off to one side"! stanblaz@netspace.net.au www.cobracat.com (home of the Australian Cobra Catamaran) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cobra-cat/
