FOR SALE Computer System -- Cheap!! SWTPC 6809 -- 6809 Processor, 52K Memory, Disk Controller, Serial Port, Parallel Interface SWTPC MFD-2 -- Double Density, Double Sided, 2 Drives, formatted capacity nearly 360K CT-82 CRT -- 9 Inch screen, Pseudo Graphics mode, select 20,16 lines/screen can select 80/82 chars/line, over 128 control functions including screen quadrant control, insert mode, etc. Selectric I attaches to the printer port. Selectric I -- Standard in high quality output, several type balls, can be used for INPUT as well as Output. Sylvanhills Plotter -- 11"x17" Plotter area, hard wood cabinet, optical feedback system, analog motors, requires NO special pens. Software -- SBUG ROM Monitor, FLEX operating system, Lucidata Pascal, TSC Basic, FORTH, TSC Macro Assembler, EDIT This system is not in perfect operating condition. It will take a small amount of work to get it up to snuff. The primary problems seem to be a problem with the disk controller (if you leave it on for a couple of hours it comes alive...probably a marginal chip), and a couple of bad bits in memory. SWTPC stands for Southwest Technical Products Corporation and they are still in business. If you have an interest in device control or operating system design this could be the ideal hacking system you are looking for. It is amazingly simple to play with as far as getting at the hardware (though you'll probably have to dig up documentation on the disk controller). Price: Best Offer over $600.00.

While not as good a deal as Mike's I have contact with someone who wants to sell a 10 meg. hard disk based Exorset system with 48K RAM. No set price, but I think he'd dump it for $1,000.00 with development software included. If you're in the Toronto-Mississauga region drop me a 'mail' note and I'll have him get in touch with you.
