Subject: S-100 Systems For Sale

I have two older S-100 machines stored away in my closet at home. Now, because
I have no use for them and (more importantly) because my wife has even less
use for them, I would like to sell them. I have not attempted to power them
up in the last 5-7 years. Some particulars:

       Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1
       -------------------------

         A front panel machine with 20 slot motherboard and a
         honker power supply.

         Two 8" floppy drives and a 5.25" floppy.

         Numerous plug-in circuit cards:

               Godbout 8085/8088 CPU card
               Godbout Disk1 floppy drive controller card
               z-80 cpu
               Ithaca Intersystems floppy drive controller card
               8086 cpu (homebrew, wire-wrapped)
               Godbout Interfacer III i/o card
               (2) Godbout System Support I's (multifunction card)
               (2) 256kb memory cards
               Plug-in bus probe analyzer card
               etc...

         This system cost over $6000 when it was bought new 10 years ago. Now,
         $500 OBO takes it (you pay the shipping). I have manuals for some of
         the cards but not all. There is a bunch of CP/M software also (CP/M2,
         CP/M3, Pascal, Microsoft Basic, more...).


       Processor Technology SOL
       ------------------------

         This system was bought in 1978 from the Computer Mart of NY when
         Stan Veit (now editor emeritus of Computer Shopper) owned the store.
         It was (and still could be) a real example of one of the first and
         best in micro's. It's case has walnut side panels (wow, haven't seen
         this in any computers since).
         
         Unfortunately, it doesn't work right now. At one point it was used
         in a warehouse for inventory control and the warehouse was unheated
         in the winter. The warmth of the computer was an attraction too
         strong for some of the resident rodent population which quickly took
         up residence in the inside of the system. Their bodily fluids have
         eaten away some of the pins of some of the chips on the system
         board. The original assembly manual is part of the package, however,
         so some enterprising electronics hobbyist should have no trouble
         getting the thing to work again.

         The system cost about $2500 when I first bought it. I don't really
         know what to offer this system for but the best offer will get it.
         Once again the buyer pays the shipping charges.
