Its funny , the things you remember. I remember Dan testing my SD Sales Z80 card in his Imsaii for me at a workshop held at Bill Degnans house. He wasn’t afraid to plug it into his working computer. Although he did use a meter to make sure it had no shorts first. He was working on an Altair, I think a 680, putting wire jumpers on the front panel with little pins so the panel could be removed. He had also brought four or five large multi-drawer cabinets of parts to help fix other peoples computers. There were actual wheelbarrows full of TRS-80s there for some reason. I remember Dan as someone who was always there to help. That is to help other people fix their stuff. RIP Dan, I am glad that I met you.
