Subject: Update on Zi/Tel Items Available
This is an updated list of the items still available from the Zi/Tel Group
of the Boston Computer Society. In return for contributions to help fund
user group activities, we would like to find new homes for these items where
they would be put to good use. You may communicate your offers in any of the
following ways:
(1) by leaving a message on the Zi/Tel BBS in the Boston area
at 617-965-7046 (or 617-965-7785 to limit access only to the
USR Courier HST modem on line 2)
(2) by leaving a message on Jay Sage's Z-Node at 617-965-7259 (logon
password is DDT)
(3) leaving GEnie mail for JAY.SAGE
(4) sending email to Jay Sage on Internet at the following
address: sage@ll.mit.edu
(5) sending postal mail to Jay Sage at
1435 Centre Street
Newton, MA 02159-2469
(6) telephoning Jay Sage at 617-965-3552 weekday evenings or Sunday or
during weekday days at 617-981-4704
The last method will probably be the least reliable and may take several
tries. The email methods (first four methods above) would be best. When it
comes time to send money, send a check payable to "BCS ZI/TEL" to the Newton
Centre address listed above.
Now for the inventory of items!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
First, there are boxes and boxes of HARD-SECTORED diskettes. So far there
have been no firm or accepted offers for these.
18 boxes of 8" 32-sector hard-sector diskettes
17 boxes of 5.25" 10-sector hard-sector diskettes
7 boxes of 5.25" 16-sector hard-sector diskettes
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Then there is some miscellaneous hardware:
1 Televideo 802H (CP/M with hard disk)
1 Soroc 135 terminal
1 Kaypro that needs work (probably fixable, certainly good
for parts)
1 mint condition Kaypro 2 with ComRiter diasy-wheel
printer, original manuals
1 Osborne 1, condition unknown
These items probably make sense only for people in the greater Boston area
or for people who can take delivery at the Trenton Computer Festival in
April.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Next, there is the software. We will start with the CP/M items. There
are lots of copies of MicroPro packages in sealed, shrink-wrapped boxes.
Most were originally for Apple CP/M. I opened one of the boxes and was able
to read the diskettes using Uniform and my special disk controller. Thus,
there will be no trouble converting the contents over to just about any other
CP/M format. People who have purchased these have been very satisfied.
7 WordStar 3.31
7 MailMerge 3.30
7 SpellStar 3.30
1 WordStar - MailMerge combined package
The additional CP/M software items include:
1 Z-Term for Apple CP/M Softcard

We still have a few books left from the large original collection.

3 financial decisions 1 home management
1 standard applications
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
