I'm liquidating my Apple II collection at the System Source Swap Meet on Saturday (6/18). I'm not expecting Ebay prices, but not bargain basement either. Major items listed on the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rXFxG_fLOHiYLlRbXJnt-wckqLL_SQ9QGHR… Mike Loewen mloewen(a)cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/

House for sale at 2004 Marconi rd.

I just “realized”, If VCF did invest in the house they can start their own reality on-line show, “VCF, Down the Shore”. I know, bad joke, but I had to say it!

If I had the money I would buy this house and just walk over to VCF I would also have crazy VCF parties. https://www.longandfoster.com/homes-for-sale/2004-Marconi-Road-Wall-NJ-0771…

I'm toying with some 6800, 6809, FLEX and RT68MX (hardware and software) and came across this: The Furby CPU was based on the 6502 Furby (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17751599 , actually a 6502-subset) http://www.seanriddle.com/furbysource.pdf Never knew that. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

Help identifying Model 100 expansion board
by Bob Shuster 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

I hope there’s a few TRS-80 Model 100 aficionados in the group! I’m in process of going through my Model 100 collection items, and came across a small circuit board. I’m not sure if it’s a RAM or ROM expansion. It’s labeled “PG Design” with “Model No. 000132” on a sticker plus “HE-3-V0” etched on the circuit board. Photos in the shared directory below. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? If there’s an online reference to it I’d sure love to take a look, but I couldn’t find anything! - Bob Shuster https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSbR93IsIOkn5beRZZlhVSjqoKQyu6rE?us… <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nSbR93IsIOkn5beRZZlhVSjqoKQyu6rE?us…>

I tried DeOxit on them, which worked on the other nonfunctioning keys, but not these. After reading some accounts by other users, perhaps I didn't wait long enough for them to dry out. I'll try again, and use some compressed air afterward. Mike Loewen mloewen(a)cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
