       Greetings. Hahah... $200... hahah... Tell you what, if any of you
       wants to experiment with an Altos 5-15, you can have mine for only
       $100 (and I pay shipping).

       It comes with MP/M, CP/M, a BBS system, all the above (2 720K 5 1/4"
       drives), and a user's manual.

       One catch, however, no CASE. If you want, I can even supply (pardon
       the pun :-) you with a 160W IBM AT PS. Not only is it small, it's
       also a LOT lighter than a linear.

       Take care.

       P.S. Hey, let's trade: I need decent probes for a 20MHz 'scope,
       a 1.44MB 3 1/2" drive, lessee... frequency counter (~20MHz), oh,
       yeah, how about a signal generator (say 20MHz)? I pay shipping and
       we swap!

       (all in good humor, by the way. Not to be rude or something... ;-)
