The Osborne Executive (OS-2) has recently been available in this area for
$800 to $1000 without waranty. Seems Osborne had a "fire sale" to deplete
inventory/raise cash in order to get out of Chapter 11. Seems like a pretty
good deal - 4MHz Z80A, 128K RAM, 2 SSDD 200K drives, CP/M Plus, WordStar,
Mailmerge, Supercalc, MBasic, CBasic, Personal Pearl, etc.
The technical manuals seem to be available - $125 !
Question: Is this really a good deal? What experiences have you had with
the Osborne Executive? Am particularly interested in reliability,
bugs, support problems, etc.
I'll post a summary of responses if interest is there...
Thanks in advance,
John Blalock, W7AAY
