Hello Guys...(any Girls out there?)
first let me say that I came across this site while searching infos on a few items that I will have to show at the local show in Varese (Italy) next sunday...and after a few post read (10 minutes..or less) I was posting the info required.
I do not have a lot of machines...space is a premium but since I travel a lot...my friends have been dumped truckloads of old *junk* to increase their collections.
As the nick..says I am fond of Old Imlac graphics computers that I have repaired for few years while working as engineer in the cad/cam garment industry...I started on IMLAC PDS IV and later on the newer IMLAC series II (2)... both hooked up on mini hp 1000 or 1000/21mx or 1000/E series.
2 months ago I liberated a client from his junk ..1 Imlac series II,hp 1000 series A, 3 Hd: 2)hp7957 1)hp7958 ,1 tape (qic) hp 9144....miscellanenea hardware and software...... for the 8) terrible "bribe" of 1 bottle of Brunello di Montalcino.....and I was almost ready to go for a few cartons of the precious stuff!!! :wink:
Also HP has a soft spot...just recently I came across 8) a brand new hp1000 series E computer.....really in mint condition.
Few others hp Items are around my house/garage/cluttering friends sheds and so on. :wink:
I hope to be of some help to you guys on this side of the pond...Best Regards....ciao!
ps:if one of you comes across an OLIVETTI PROGRAMMA 101....please let me know....I have a long story to tell and make a friend really happy.
Of course trades...etc are always accepted. Do not be shy...!
:) ciao again, Fabio
