We are trying to put together two complete Commodore 64 systems for use in a special education class for 6-12 year olds at Martin Park Elementary School, Boulder, CO. These machines will become property of the Boulder Valley School District, to be used in instructing disabled kids with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, etc. We are hoping there's someone out there who may have some old Commodore equipment they're no longer using and would consider donating; if we are unable to locate donations, we will consider offers to purchase used Commodore-compatible equipment in operating condition. (Please note that donations would be tax deductible, as the equipment will become the property of a public entity.) The items we are seeking are: o (1) Commodore 64 cpu/keyboard o (2) Commodore 1541 disk drive or equivalent (5.25" floppy) o (2) magnavox 13" color monitor or equivalent o (2) surge protectors o (1) Commodore-compatible printer, such as the Star NX1000C o blank floppies in good condition o general software suitable for educational use This project is being done in cooperation with the Computer Foundation for Handicapped Children (Tempe, Arizona), which has assembled a large collection of special ed software, and tips on acquisition of hardware, for the Commodore line. If you are able to help in any way, please contact us per the info below. If you call, be prepared to leave a message on the machine if we're not in. Thanks in advance for your assistance ... __________ Ed & Jacquie Arnold * 2005 Table Mesa Dr., Boulder, CO 80303 * 303-494-6949 era@ncar.ucar.edu [128.117.64.4] * {ames,gatech,noao,uunet,...}!ncar!era
