I have a one of these machines to give to whoever wants it. I'll send
it to anywhere as long you cover freight.

Comes with 128k RAM, twin 5.25" floppy drives, colour monitor, games
disk and PIPS III (Personal Information Processing System), and all
manuals. As new condition.

Cheers,

... Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.

Maybe you could contact the computer museum in dunedin... that thing
sounds odd, maybe they don't have one yet.

If you don't get any takers in NZ, I have heard of this guy in Vancouver,
BC who collects computers. I don't have any other info though.

Paging Dave Joll to Sord thread in nz.comp. IIRC he has two of them, I
reconditioned both his keyboards last year.

Hi
You could get good money for this by selling it on trademe under
the vintage computer section. Buyer would pay postage.

Hmmm, this could be a good idea. Wished I'd thought of it before. :) I
still haven't got a price for someone in Wellington yet, but at least I
know the weight of the system.
