Stephen: I'm not "jumping at the bit", but if you should NOT find another person who is interested in the Osborne I & II systems, I would be interested. It's not a priority to me, but I would not want to see them go to the junk pile, and would be able to take them if nobody else is interested in taking them.
Would you have any discs / manuals that go with the Osborne systems? Also, when you say boxes of "parts", would it be just computer-level parts (boards, etc), or might it be at the component level (Z80's, 74xx TTL parts, passives, etc)? If you have components, I might also be interested in those. If you could provide info / photos, that would help. I have friends down in the Manchester area, so if it was necessary to (re)move these items quickly, I could make a few calls and get a friend to pick the items up... or else I will probably be down in Concord/Manchester NH area sometime in Sept/Oct and could make arrangements with you for pickup. THANKS for considering my interest. Dave Schuler - KB1YGP (Amateur/Extra) Jericho VT [email protected] On 8/23/2024 3:29 PM, Stephen Pereira via cctalk wrote:
Hello all, I am winnowing down my collection of Vintage Computer stuff to make space for other storage needs, and to make life a little easier on those who I will eventually leave behind. I have the following stuff available for free to pickup in the Manchester NH area: - Sun Sparc Classic, with hard disk, CDROM drive, keyboard, some documentation, very large Sun video CRT. - Power Macintosh 7200, with keyboard - Power Macintosh 7300, with keyboard - Osborne I (3 inch screen) - Osborne II (5 inch screen) - a couple of original Macintosh powerbook laptops - Tandy 2800 laptop (286 + 287, EGA LCD screen), plus another for spare parts - some sort of Toshiba laptop - Macintosh Powerbook clamshell, with USB, Firewire, & CDROM drive - boxes of books & parts & cables I have a few photos of these as currently stored in my basement. All “working when put into storage”. The basement is dry and dehumidified. I cannot vouch for working condition today because of decaying capacitors and internal batteries over the past 15-20 years. I would greatly appreciate someone to take the entire lot. I just do not have the energy to go through the eBay Selling & shipping with all this stuff. If anyone is interested, please email me and we talk and I can provide the few photos and my address for pickup. smp - - - Stephen Pereira Bedford, NH 03110 KB1SXE
