Retro computer giveaway (uk)
« on: July 01, 2024, 09:09:09 am »
I'm trying to clear some of the crap treasure from my loft/life...

I was/will put these in buy/sell/want but since these are so retro computer specific and free,  i thought a simple list here easier.

Applemac PowerBook 540c  - considerably crustier than it looks in the photo . probably parts only

Mac G5 - see label picture - no hdds  nice box for a pc

Compaq portable 2 - missing one foot panel

Unique BBC B luggable - i built this a few decades ago and used it to write thousands of lines of 6502 assembler.  It has a (forgot the name) 4mhz board, that never worked for more than five mins and a whole set  of interthingy roms - interibase, interword etc.

I also have an epson lx800 dotmatrix printer and neat 9 inch vga monitor


Collection only , from Colchester Essex uk.

  I wish that you were closer.  I loved using those Compaq Portable IIs.  They were great for HP-IB controllers and EPROM burners and similar uses that required using an interface card and when you wanted it to all be portable.  I tried to hold onto several of those P IIs but they all disappeared over the years.
