Indianapolis: More classic computing equipment than I can shake a stick at.
Anyone who's passing through, or lives near Indianapolis, feel free to give me a shout to set up a time to peruse what I have. I have amassed enough machines to take on their own gravitational pull. Most are in various states of disrepair, in need of attention, but quite a few still work or don't need much work to be functional. A number of machines I intend on keeping for their neat factor (like an Olivetti M20) but might be persuaded to part with. Apple (bunch of IIc's, IIe's, IIgs's) Macintosh (40 or so compact Macs - 512, Plus, SE, 'splodey-battery-SE/30's -, a big 'ol stack of 68k and PPC desktops, PowerBooks, a stack of DuoDock II's) Kaypro (maybe 6?) Osborne Compaq Portables (luggable and plasma) Epson QX-10 (2 machines, 1 monitor, pretty certain I have the Valdocs disk somewhere) IBM (5150's, 5160's, and a 5170 with box, and a few monitors) Wang (PC S1-2 with keyboard/monitor(s)) Franklin 8000 with keyboard A few 386/486 machines ADM 3A terminal (doesn't power on, but it's cute) Amiga 2000HD (boots, but I don't have a keyboard or mouse, and the floppy drives continuously seek) Amiga 500 (untested, no power supply) C64's (definitely for parts!) and some drives Tandy 1000 EX (untested) NeXT 21 Color Monitor (too huge and heavy for me to keep, I'll be happy with a VGA converter when I find one) And probably a few other things I'm forgetting about. Price-wise, basically make me an offer. Scrap metal prices are fine with me for a lot of machines so long as they're not actually getting scrapped (hence the post here!). If you're looking for something specific, let me know and I'll see what I have. Thanks! Kind regards, -Maxx

It's part of the disk change detection routine. There were lots of noclick utilities that patched the code to seek in one direction rather than back and forth, so that the clicking would stop once the heads reached the track 0 sensor. -- Mark J.

Would you willing to ship the A500 up to Michigan? I'd give you a few bucks for it as a spare unit for the one I've got.

A! Neat to know - that's exactly what it's doing. :) On 08/23/2015 06:32 PM, Mark J.
