Looks like someone bought it all and is trying to resell the stuff I posted 
about earlier this month. The original seller asked for $1200 for the lot of it.

Cheers,

Doug

Re: Pictures per previous post

So, the full story:

I was chatting and mentioned that I thought it would be great to get a 
Multiflow like I used back in college. Lo and behold, someone saw one listed on 
eBay, so I immediately hit "Buy it now" when I saw the poster saying "the next 
stop for this is the scrap yard." I'm in New York, but the thing is in Austin, 
so I had to go to Austin. Talked to the seller, who told me she had a storage 
unit of other old computers.

So, I flew down to move the Multiflow and looked at her other computers. There 
were a bunch, as you've seen in the pictures. There were also manuals and 5.25" 
disks for quite a few old pieces of software including Microsoft Word, Great 
Plains, Peachtree, etc. There were several few portable PCs including a Compaq 
luggable and a Panasonic that makes the Compaq look small. There were a ton of 
old printing calculators. There were other interesting things like the Evans & 
Sutherland Freedom 1000 with Am-something CPUs, a Sun Graphics Tower, the 2x PC 
RTs, the Motorola "MicroPersonal Computer," a bunch of boards for something 
that was labeled "Ametek," and of course the aforementioned things that I 
brought back with me to New York.

I posted the seller's e-mail, so if anyone wants anything else, please contact 
her.

My goal in taking the things home was to save them for people who care about 
this stuff. I personally want to revive the TI Explorer II, HP 85 and the C64 
(never had one in an earlier age), and I brought the rest for others I know 
(some on this list) who were interested in some of the pieces like the 3b2 and 
the Blit. The seller wasn't willing to ship, but I was out of space in both the 
car and the plane, so that was that.

Hope others can get some things they would like to save from the seller too.

Cheers,

Doug

They were/are for sale at about $200 apiece, in Austin. See other message for 
which things I took. There were also a ton of vintage printing calculators, and 
about 5 huge PC boards for something with "Ametek S1" and other Ametek labels.

Apparently the list strips HTML out, which I didn't know.

AT 3b2, IBM RT, others

[Doug Fields]

I'm here in Austin picking up that Multiflow and they have a bunch of other 
computers. The most intact looking is an AT 3b2-1000-70. There are also two 
rude looking IBM RTs plus an Evans and Sutherland Freedom 1000 with Sun 
Graphics tower, a Sparc Printer, lots of old Apple printers, and other stuff. 
I'm trying to put it all on Imgur but having problems since I never used it 
before so if you want pics email me your iMessage account and I can share it 
somehow that way. 

Cheers,

Doug
