After some agony and more money than I would have liked to have spent
I have again a fully functioning TRS-80 III. I repaired it in order
to sell it as I now have a Macintosh.
1. My first thought was to sell the model III. How much is it worth?
It has two double sided double density percom drives installed internally.
Also, 48K and RS232 extension.
2. If the price I could get is too low, I would like to know
what else I could do with it as some sort of peripheral. For example, is
there any way to [fairly easily and cheaply - communication freeware or
shareware availability] transform it into a bulletin board or news/mail
node? Is it ridiculous to think of it as a possible print buffer for the
Mac? How easy is it to connect the two? What are some [realistic]
uses that the two could serve together?
3. Barring both of the above, does anybody know about giving the TRS-80
away? I'm curious what good that act could do to my taxes as well as what
organizations or institutions might appreciate the computer.
Please send mail if you have a line on any of these questions. Thanks
very much in advance!
