Found this in a storage area at work and have to sell it or toss it.
Ricochet was apparently an early wireless internet service available in some cities. Long defunct, but historically interesting. Read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricochet_(Internet_service)
I'm guessing that Ricochet was never available in the town of Raton, New Mexico, so the modems were probably purchased for in-house use at a local science company.
What I have available, sold together only, as a lot:
Ricochet Modem Reference Guide. 80pgs, comb bound. Cover is scuffed, but pages are very good condition.
Ricochet Trouble Shooting Guide. Like new.
Installation floppies, set of 7. Never opened, factory sealed.
Met ricom-Ricochet spare battery. Never used. Rechargeable Ni-MH 6V.
6 cables - I think they're modem-to-serial cables. Never used.
4 Metricom AC adaptors. 120v AC - 9V DC
Price: $10, including shipping to anywhere in the USA.
