Anybody care to come to Michigan and drive off with a truckload of vintage computers? I'll even provide the truck! I have to reclaim one of my storage rooms for use as a bedroom/nursery, and be rid of a whole sh!tload of stuff by the 21st of this month, (when the baby's due). The guy who's s'pozed to be coming for it iz kinda dragging his feet, so I'm offering this as a last chance, first-come, first-serve deal. I'd hate to junk these goodies, but if I have to, in the interest of domestic tranquility...

The truck is a 1989 Chebby S-10 shorty, with 2.5 EFI 4-banger & 5-speed tranny. It needs a starter, but with a lil' push she'll start right up and drive, to verify the usability before spending $$$ onna starter.

As for computer gear, the list includes, but is not limited to (IIRC):

Four or five Compaq Portables
A couple of Wangs
Some TRS-80 stuff, including a beautiful Model III, a couple of M-IVs, etc
Some Sanyo 555s
A brace of Columbia VPs
Several assorted Kaypros
Some IBM-PC/XT stuff
A handful of Tandy 1000s
Some H/P 100/150 stuff
Some Heath/Zenith stuff, including a complete & working Z-120, lots of docs, etc.
Some Apple ][ stuff, system units, disk drives, etc. & a Laser 128

I dunno, lots of other stuff...too much to recall or list, but the truck will be well-filled. All I can say is that someone will leave here with a big smile on thier face.

Do any of the Compaq Portables have 10MB MFM drives?

The Portable 286 has a 40Mb Genuine Compaq IDE drive & controller...dunno what's in the others, but should be able to dig up something (don't ask me what I've been doing all day). There is also a known-working 10Mb drive in the A/B-badged XT case.

I'd really like a Sanyo 555 -- it was my first computer!!!! Any chance of selling it and shipping it? (I'm in Alabama and a little too far to get to Michigan)

Or if anyone else gets this and wants to part with a Sanyo, let me know!!!
