WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800
by Jonathan Chapman 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

All, I recently picked up an ICE-85 in-circuit emulator from Jack Rubin (thanks Ian and Connor for ferrying it back!). I thought that the stuff it came with included a Prompt-80 as a controller, but it does not: there's an unrelated Prompt-48 board in the boxes. The ICE-85 came with ISIS control software on 8" diskette. So I guess I'm in the market for an Intel MDS-800. Good luck, right? :P Thanks, Jonathan

Hi all! Thanks for accepting me to the mailing list! I am excited for this year's VCF East but I won't be able to make it. I just wanted to check if anyone attending is going to sell an Apple IIgs, especially an Apple IIgs monitor (more especially one NIB), for a friend of mine who wants to buy it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Honestly I think he should have gone to Computer Reset to find one, haha. Jon

Your mileage may vary. We ask that you consider donating to the Vintage Computer Federation. These funds will help us continue our work of preserving and sharing computer history. It will also enable us to improve our infrastructure so we can offer high quality video streaming in the near future, among other awesome improvements to our facilities. You can send donations to paypal(a)vcfed.org or a check to our mailing address: P.O. Box 417, Eatontown, NJ 07724 Discord will be available for live discussion during the streams.
