I have 3 old z-80 based computers in cabinets, with 8" and 5-1/4" floppy
drives and lots of old diskettes. 2 of the computers are based on the
once-famous "big board" SBC and the other using a Micromint board. I
have lots of manuals and tech lit on the stuff. I also have 1 working
QUME asci terminal and one non working wise 50 terminal, a home built
300 baud modem, a 2400 baud USR modem and a big box of 5-1/4"
diskettes(formats to a whopping 360kb). everything is free if you
promise never to call me again!

NOTE: This equipment is NOT compatible with Windows, or modern IBM PC/AT
style equipment (or anything else!) - this is museum or boat anchor
stuff. I suppose some of the power supplies and cabinets could be reused
for electronics projects.
You could use the 360k diskettes in an older PC (5-1/4" drive required).

If interested, please email me at paul_newman@nsm-nortel.com by March 5,
1997. If there are no takers by then, it goes in the garbage.

thanks,
