Items contributed to the membership: first re-homing in quite some time

[SRCS Admin]

Hi all,

Before I wised up to the fact that I am not very efficient at sorting and distributing it and stopped accepting new stuff, several individuals had donated surplus vintage computers and assorted paraphernalia to be handed out to our membership.

Yes, I know you hadn't heard about that. That's because it was several years ago at this point.

In any case, I have recently resumed my efforts to sort through the stuff and the first batch of items in entirely too long is ready for new homes.

This month it is all the TRS-80 stuff I could find mixed in with the rest:

We have two official TRS-80 Model 4 / 4P manuals in original brown binders, an assortment of original and third-party books on various levels of TRS-80 BASIC and the TRS-80 ROM, four different TRS-80 CoCo 2s, a CoCo multi-cartridge expansion unit, and _part of_ Radio Shack's second version of an X-10 home automation controller -- as far as I can tell, the idea was that you program it with the CoCo and then it does controller-y things without needing the machine to be running, which was the problem with their original version.

All of these items are free to good homes.

Expect there to be other things next month, but as far as I can tell, this is it for the TRS-80 items.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again,

Hello Gordon, 

Love to have the original manuals for the TRS-80 4P to go with my unit and anything Model I related. 

May I pickup at next meeting? Also like to give the club something or bring something.

Must not go down OS-9 rabbit hole…

If anyone wants to give a demo?

Hi all,

So it sounds like so far, Andrew Witte gets one of the CoCo 2 at a minimum, and J Cook gets the 4/4P manuals at a minimum.

For the rest of you, I must reiterate -- new items to add to this stuff are not welcome. With one meeting per month, I'll be most of a year AT LEAST spreading out what's already here. We still have the usual Buy/Sell/Free/Trade table for all of your re-homing needs, but it has to be your problem, not mine. I just _can't_.

Regards,
Gordon S.

CoCo 2 was my second computer, after the TI 99/4a, but I never really learned to do a lot with it. I should take one and try to remedy that. Of course that means I have to actually show up to a meeting 😅
