I still have an extra 6000 system willing to sell in whole or parts.. 2 Meg of Ram 7 Meg MMU <converted by me> If you are interested in upgrading your system above 1 Meg of memory let me know. I can do it for ya or send you schematics and instructions on how to do it yourself. Hires Graphics board for 6000 2 Bernoulli box adaptor cards.. 1 2-drive Iomega Bernoulli box.. 10 meg each includes 6 10 meg cartridges also has an IBMPC adapter card and cable. The second drive is flaky 1st drive is great. 1 3 port serial card. 40 Meg internal miniscribe drive 1 8" floppy. Z80 board running at 0 wait state instead of 1 wait state <again something you can do at home with a screwdriver soldering iron etc...> If anyone out there is interested in hacking the Z80 source on the system I have the boot track, rom, and a good percentage of z80ctl disassembled and commented. Took me quite a bit of time but has been helpful in keeping these bears running.... I have not included prices as I'm looking for offers... MAKE ME ONE... we are currently using the extra system for development of a multiuser game running on my BBS but I could sell it if I got a reasonable offer or two. Email.. call me at 608 256 1432 or call my multiuser Tandy 6000 BBS at 608 256 3133.... Later... Monty

Monty Yes I am very interested in this info. I'm not sure what a fair price for your parts, drawings, etc. would be. I just picked up a used (off from lease, I think) Model 6000 HD (15 meg.) for $150.00 (system in original box, tested to run, original diskettes, & manuals). My new system (or toy as my wife refers to it!) has only the run-time Xenix version 2.0.3 (??) and I am looking to upgrade it, both h/w & s/w. I want to get lots more memory & disk storage, get Xenix upto the latest possible release with full-blown development kit etc. I have two goals for this machine. The first is as personal 2 to 3 user Xenix development/learning system, and the second is for receiving a Usenet feed (I get it at work, My wife, who is a consulting programmer, working at home, does not...). Let me know what kind of prices, etc. and info you have, want, and can send me. Thanks, John Farmer -- ________________________________________________________________________ | John T.
