Thanks for that, Chuck.. while it makes the point, it's still one of the

I don't know about the price of syphilis but the price of treating syphilis
has gone through the roof. But I digress... :)

I picked up a bit of an odball power macintosh 6100 a while back. It has a
486 cpu at 66 mhz in it as well, so you can run dos on it or something.
Overall looks to be in somewhat working shape, but does not boot. I do not
hear the hard drive spinning, I am guessing it is bad.I can get it to power
As promised, I have an update: The seller and I have finished haggling, with
the deal to be completed in a little over a week, for an undisclosed sum to be
paid in small, unmarked bills. Thanks for the help, folks!

Does the disk system include a boot disk? Minus a few hundred, if not!

SOL-20s have been all over the map. Ive seen similar units diverge by as much
as $500 for nothing obvious I can see. The average for unknown, complete,
decent cosmetic condition seems to be around $900. With extras probably $1300?

I have an opportunity to make a "reasonable offer" on a fairly complete SOL-20
system. It would include a floppy drive cabinet and some software, but no
monitor. It's a "working when retired" system, so I assume that the keyboard
has died of old age and some capacitors might have dried out;
Yes. The 8 & 9 machines were ECL, the rest were TTL. IIRC, those were the
32/87, 9780, PN9600.
David mentioned disks on the PN (Unix) series. Those were formatted with
multiple of 512 byte sectors. The RTM/MPX machines used 768 byte sectors,
which was super optimal for the disks they happened to

Ah, yes, "The Magic Roundabout" - was three 6040s and one 9080. I still

This guy was the second listing he's put up. I suspect he has more.
I tried the two sets he put up the first time, and they work fine on the 6085.
They are hard enough to find at that price, I thought I'd let people know.

For the couple of people that have been to my new

I may have scanned other versions, no time to look right now.
