We are moving into a smaller house, and I don't have room for all of my vintage stuff. Anyone who is in (or near) the Pittsburgh area, please come and help!
I'm not sure what all I will be getting rid of, but here is a starting list:
(The diagonal line is an artifact of the scan rate of the screen differing from the camera's scan rate.)
(The top part being lighter than the bottom is due to the above mentioned scan rates, and the blurry display is from my not-so-steady hands. Sorry.)
1) Compaq 386 lunchbox computer; HD, 1.44M FD and built-in display (has a vertical strip of blurry display sections - see photos.) I got this about 20-25 years ago from a church which I used to attend. It has a MS-DOS 6.20 boot disk (which I'll keep with the computer) with a copy of IDEDIAG. This shows that it has a 40MB hard drive, but I do not have the "Install Disk" to set up the BIOS to recognize the HD. It is pretty dirty, from being in storage for many years, and the keyboard cable has dry rot, but it does work. I'll include another keyboard, but both are in need of some TLC (mostly cleaning, and replace the cables if you can.)
2) Intel 286 Motherboard; don't have any info on this, but there is no RAM (nor the cache, if I'm right about the extra DIP sockets.)
3) A couple of terminals; one ADM3 (ADM3A?), and one Heath H19 (neither one has been tested, in fact I can't even get to them for pictures until I pack up some more of my stuff.)
4) Some Commodore stuff; mostly VIC-20 and C=>64 stuff. I have a bunch of this stuff, but want to keep one -20 and one -64 complete set. Most of the stuff has not been tested.
5) A CoCo (2?); no real info, but I believe that it did not power up last time I tried it out.
6) Several PC cards (mix of ISA-16, VLSI, PCI); no status
7) A NEC MultiSync monitor with speakers (needs a good cleaning, but worked the last time that I used it.)
8) ?????
Sorry, but I don't have time to do any packing or shipping. However, I can bring them out to you (packing to move leaves a terribly messy house) when you come to pick them up.
I don't need any payment (although I won't turn up my nose if you want to offer,) I just want them to go to someone who will give them the loving home they deserve. Also, I would love to get a nice, working 486 laptop, if you happen to have a spare.
EDIT: Oh, I nearly forgot, I also have two older (Motorola MC68000) Apple Macs, with some stuff for them.
