Cipher F880 with S100 interface card on local CL

Just thought I'd mention running across a guy in the next town peddling a Cipher F880 streamer with an S100 interface card for $150. Even includes the (lowboy) rack. Let me know if you're interested (I'm in Eugene, OR) --Chuck

Vintage Computer Federation is pleased to announce an expansion of the Vintage Computer Festival series to the Pacific Northwest. Finally! :) We agree :) and it'll definitely be worth the wait. Right now we are a tad busy with VCF West (Aug. 5-6 @ CHM), and after that you'll start seeing PNW

I started with RSTS in 1978, in a hospital. I later heard that the Bank of Tasmania was using TRAX. Even with many years of DECUS involvement, I never heard much more of TRAX. John GEREMIN, Hon. Curator, Australian Computer Museum Society Inc. i...@acms.org.au From: Alan Frisbie

Seattle in mid-February will be damp, but we're in the low-lands here so snow is generally not an issue. But travelling through the passes or through higher elevations can be dicey. Once you are here though we'll try to make it good time. I think the LCM+L will be a great venue, and this show wi

Sadly, the person who organizes the show is usually busy trying to keep things on track, and doesn't get time to man an exhibit. But if you come out I have plenty of hardware that can make a trip to the museum for loaner purposes - there is probably very little need to make a PCjr travel on an air

I agree.. the LCM+L looks awesome. And really, winter is an ideal time to do vintage computer stuff. Usually our winters are not that bad up here, but this last year we had snow on the ground almost continuously through March. It was brutal. Perhaps if weather proves difficult this year,

I am sure LHMuseum would pay a fair retail price for one, they're nearby so you would not have to ship it. They have the full 11/70 and could use a spare I am sure. On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 11:14 AM, Rod Smallwood via cctech < cct...@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Depends on condition. A picture would
