Anthony S. and I took a Uhaul to Jason's house today and rescued most of his vintage computing collection. I'll never remember everything -- we filled the 9-foot cargo van three layers tall! Following are the highlights: - Large amount of common 8-bitters in mediocre condition. Half a dozen Apple ][ plus/e/c/GS/Laser; a few Vic/64 systems; one or two TRS-80; one or two TI-99/4A; etc. .... also some Sun systems and a pair of DEC Rainbows - Several DEC terminals in mediocre condition - A bunch of small tape drives etc. - Miscellaneous peripherals - Xerox-branded terminal that appears to be an ADM or similar - Commodore PET case with some other computer inside it (we didn't have a chance to open it but someone wrote "MM-1" in market on the back) - An awesome homemade videogame controller unit for a PC, might have to be installed in our workshop :) - NeXTstation and monitor, just like the one we got running in the museum a few weeks ago. Nice to have a backup! Funny story: we went an hour out of way to visit Sridhar and pick up something. We ended up visiting his father and picking up nothing, due to a fairly hilarious misunderstanding. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation

Anthony can you think of anything else?
I thought you said there was an Elstart Amigo in there? I used to love to play star planet eliminator.
Sounds like a certain pair of members will be getting a call to help organize the warehouse soon... On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 8:51 AM, william degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I always liked the game Hoarder on the Elstar Amigo. It was my favorite on that system! On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 8:53 AM william degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
