Early System 80 on Trade Me
Posted: Sat Feb 26, 2011 9:31 pm
You guys would have seen it. I don't have a version 1 model of the System 80 and wondered about going for this myself. But then even though these are favourites I probably have enough System 80s. Besides, I have an expensive X/Profile Lisa hard drive emulator to pay for.
As you probably know I do have a specific website for System 80s on my domain, which has lots of support, technical information and even programs. I note the machine is not working. These are simple computers and apart from the ROM chips there are no propritory ICs. They are normally fixable with the right technical knowledge and tools, and spare parts scavenged from other junk computers of around the same period.
Good luck with those that might bid. These computers were significant in NZ around 1980-1982 and certainly worth having in the collection.
