F/S @ Festivus Swap Meet - Can Bring Lots of S100 Stuff, also have Atari, Apple, and Lots More
by Todd George 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Hi everyone, Recently completed a house move, so my things are in disarray and apologies for the potentially disorganized nature of this post, I've just started going through a lot of things that I'll eventually be selling/trading/offloading/giving away. I have a ton of stuff, but not entirely sure I can locate what you may be looking for at this point, even if I know I have it. Feel free to email if you have something you are looking for. I'll update the Festivus swap meet Google Sheets list as well with what I know I have available. I have a literal pile of S100 and related equipment that I would love to offload. I can bring things to Festivus, but don't want to drag them there unless there is interest (that stuff is heavy, yo). I hate when people say "make an offer", but I absolutely have no idea what to ask (unless otherwise noted) for most of this stuff, so feel free to make what you think is a reasonable offer and we will work something out. No, seriously, email me, I want to move inventory!! LOL S100 Stuff: I have _at least_ 1,200 8" floppy disks including various software (some/most pirated) I have what I believe is a new-in-box Shugart 8" floppy drive I have additional 8" floppy drives I have S100 systems and keyboards (no details currently, sorry) Random Stuff: Hero Jr. w/some accessories (remote and at least one cartridge), broken wheel - $500? Atari Stuff: 800XL computers including one that's very close to new in-box (if not actually new?) Atari Tape Drive(s) (410) Atari 1020 Plotter Atari XM301 Atari software including some APX stuff PC Stuff: Beige Gateway machines Beige and older black Dell machines Tons and tons of "big box" software IBM Stuff: RS6000 machines including a nice small-form factor "desktop" AIX and Various Software (most original but not boxed) - $FREE RAM - $FREE Apple Stuff: Lots of iMacs (especially LCD models) Lots of MacBooks PowerMacs *FOR PARTS* (these are in ROUGH shape) - $FREE! Picture of PowerMacs - https://photos.app.goo.gl/jb6t9L2yPoREmhYj8 Also open to non-Festivus deals and trades for Sony Trinitron or other interesting CRTs, vintage ThinkPads, 3DFX Voodoo gear, and arcade equipment (especially an Atari Tetris JAMMA PCB). Note, if you prefer to text, my information is on the Festivus Swap Meet Google Spreadsheet Jeff shared. Thanks! -Todd

OT / Assistance requested - technology bucket list items
by Martin A. Flynn 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

As part of the technology bucket list, the plan is to cut admin over to the FiOS on 01/20/2024, so we can be rid of the last of the main post cable modems. Assuming InfoAge management provide access to the administration suite (including the secured offices and the attic), the plan is to start around 9:00 AM and wrap by 1:00 PM on 01/20/2024.

Stuff I'm bringing to the swap meet Mac IBM Atari & more
by Joseph Giliberti 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hey Everyone! I'm trying to reduce/condense my collection and am trying to find new caregivers for some of my treasures. I haven't determined pricing on most things, but I will say that I know that eBay sold prices are not usually realistic. Some of what I'll be bringing: - Macintosh II system w/ two video cards and two monitors, keyboard and mouse. Untested. Computer has the logic board from a IIfx, so it's not a true II. There's no battery damage on the board. - IBM PC/AT 5170 w/ EGA card (with memory daughterboard), Ad Lib card and a AT RAMBank card half-filled with 1MiB. Also included is fully-working Model F AT keyboard, which will not be sold separately. Lastly, I have the rare 5154 EGA monitor to complete the set. The computer had been sitting for 25 years prior to my acquiring it and I have never plugged it in. I expect many tantalum caps will pop. - Many monitors of different brands and technologies, most are between 13 and 16 inches, and half are styled to match the IBM PS/2. Nothing is tested, but I will be bringing a Sencore computer monitor analyzer, - Various 8-bit Atari, Apple II and Amiga hardware. - 1979 Stern Lectronamo pinball machine. It's in decent cosmetic condition but it needs board and connector work. It uses a bally boardset. No battery damage. Parts to rebuild all connectors and many capacitor kits are included. New legs are included. I'd like to get $500 for it. I'm not going to bring it unless I have a seriously interested party. - Other various things as I did them out Regards, Joe Giliberti
