I have several machines that I'm looking to find a new owner for. In addition to three Kaypro 10's which seem to be in good condition (dusty and untested, but not dented or dirty or broken) I have...

The Ultimate Exidy Sorcerer. This unit has many mods and comes in it's original suitcase-themed box, has the S-100 unit with 3 boards in it (disk controller, serial interface board, RAM expander), 2 8" floppy drives, parallel D/A converter board, and about 10 boxes of 8" floppies with all sorts of goodies. Also about 30 tapes worth of software.

The most interesting thing this collection comes with is the supporting documentation and memorabilia. Every technical manual you could think of is included, plus many issues (dozens) of Sorcerer newsletters from groups in the USA, Australia and more.

This computer was owned by my father, Tony Lautenbach of North American Software. They were a premier producer of software for the Sorcerer, one of the first to figure out how to remap the character set and produce playable games. Source code is included in printed form to these games and programs. The Sorcerer unit also has the EXMON-2 extended monitor software installed in it and includes the documented source code for said monitor. This was the first and best extended monitor software available for the Sorcerer. The D/A converter allowed the machine to produce pretty decent sound, and was developed by NAS as well.

Any offers?
