Subject: Free Northstar Advantage

Speaking of sorry cries from western Massachusetts, I got a call last
weekend from a guy in Stockbridge who wants to find a good home for a
Northstar Advantage.  He said that Jay Sage had given him my name.  I 
have no interest in this particular machine (my wife has been making
comments about the corpses *already* cluttering the house :-), but
someone here might.

For those unfamiliar with it, the Advantage is an integrated CP/M
machine (CPU, CRT and drives in same case, like a Superbrain).  This
particular machine was having trouble with its drive B before the
high-voltage power supply failed.  The owner thinks the latter problem
merely requires a fuse replacement, but it isn't worth it to him to fix
it (he does his serious work on another unidentified CP/M box).  The
machine requires hard-sector diskettes, which he claims can still be
obtained from Lyben.  He bought some recently, and I believe he plans
to include them with the machine.

The machine is in Stockbridge, but the owner indicated that his son
could bring it into Boston.  If you're interested, call Gordon Northrop
at 413-298-3194.

                               -Jim.
