			Dec Rainbow 100A System.

I am selling a DEC Rainbow 100A.  Yes this means it has 64K of ram, and two
400K floppies, and a monochrome monitor.  Just incase people don't know it has
both an 8088 and a Z80 inside.  For those that may still care, this means
it will run both CP/M 80 software as well as CP/M 86 stuff.
It comes with the technical documentation kit and some software.

The software includes CP/M 86, MS DOS, MBASIC, and PASCAL MT+86,
plus any other sundry pieces of code that are lying arround that I wrote.
It is in mint condition, (ie no scratches on the cabinet if you care about
such stuff) and runs just fine.  I also have all the original packaging.
It's currently used as a terminal, but I now own a 520ST and wish to get
rid of the Rainbow.

What am I asking for it?  Well... lets say that no reasonable offer shall be
refused.  Where reasonable would be anything close to $700 bucks,  or the best
offer I get after some as yet to be determined period of time.
I figure it is at the least a vt102, and what do they cost?

So if you are interested send e-mail or real mail to me, at the following
addresses.
