This guy tell's me "I have a 20'X20' shed full of old computers and electronics, they're yours, all you gotta do is haul them away"!
I'm thinking a few stacked up against the wall's, so we bring two vehicle's, and walk into this... _________________ Wanted: Grey trace Intel 4004 (mala), will give grey trace and white Microsystems International MIL MF8080, PM me if interested. |

You hit jackpot!
Buy some good cuban cigar and be happy with a good rhum.

But of course there's a catch to it.
We found a lot of them (but not all) had all the guts removed except for the Mobo's, which is fine, this is located about 5 hours away from home, we were out of town at a buddies place, and on our second trip out I packed 13 complete units (loaded with cpu's & all) in my car for the long drive home, I dug into 1 so far and found a nice purple/gold Intel C8087-1!
I should be going back in a few weeks, so we 'll keep digging through the stacks for the loaded units, they're not going anywhere fast.
And this shed wasn't home to rats or snakes, just cats!
So my buddies Durango smell's like cat pee now (haha), thanx man
What are friends for!
And I almost forgot, on the way out the 2nd time, This chick turned right in front of me, I was only doing about 30km/h and SMASH right into the arse end of her car, I only busted one light cover and dented the bumper, but her entire quarter panel wash smashed in and rear wheel sitting at an angle, so needless to say, she was having a bad day! We continued on out to the barn shopping...let the good times roll! _________________ Wanted: Grey trace Intel 4004 (mala), will give grey trace and white Microsystems International MIL MF8080, PM me if interested. |
