Amazing Collection of Early Computers and Memorabilia being sold on eBay

[Zepper]

Bid is up to $7800. Too bad he didn't try to sell the stuff separately - I'd be bidding on the Exidy for sure...

He even has a NIB Exidy Sorcerer which was on the short list for my first computer. Since I've been doing this stuff for over 25 years, I've actually had hands-on with most of this stuff. Almost every name-brand computer that I owned prior to 1990 is on the list as well. Except he has the fancy version of my very first, the Heathkit H-88. He has the H-89 which had floppy disk storage whereas mine had cassette tape storage (modified GE portable cassette recorder).

Here's a link to his eBay listing: Classic PC Collection.

And here is a link to his PC Museum site: http://www.thepcmuseum.net

Looks impressive, but with out OCing numbers it is usless .


On a more serious note, I saw a couple of computers in there that I have thrown away over the years; now I wish I had keep them.

Brings back all sorts of memories....

I got one of those in the basement, complete with a thermal printer that did not print the descendors (part of the letter that went below the line as in g - j - p - q ).

Yeah, I saw an IBM PC Jr., it was the first system I had my hands on. I first noticed the "Hands on BASIC" manual in the picture. Damn, that brings back memories.
