Well I'm really sorry to see my system go. I've been using it for the past 
couple years for developing software for my enjoyment, but its come to the
point where I'm planning on working on NeXT's so have decided to upgrade.

Here's the system I have for sale:

Amiga 2000 rev 4.4 
   5 megs of ram
   40 quantum harddrive
   GVP II (Has 4 of the 5 meg on it. Expandable to 8) controller card
   XT8088 bridgeboard and 5 1/2" drive (IBM compatibility)
   2 internal 3.5" drives
   CMI (I believe thats the brand) 68000 (16mhz) accelerator card.
   Imagewriter II printer (Print in color with a color ribon which I have)
   Perfect Sound (Not 3.0) stereo digitizer
   Ece Midi Interface (A1000 version but I've got a cable that runs off
      an internal port which lets it work just fine on an 2000.)
   Digiview Digitizer (For the A1000 need gender bender from NewTek)
   1084 Monitor (This monitor works fine except it has some very noticable
      color splotches. I'm pretty sure all it needs is a degausing but no
      guarantees and it works fine otherwise)
   The Multi-Kickstart Project Kit. Which will allow 3 kickstart roms to
      be placed in it and allow you to$switch between them. Currently
      unassembled but will assemble if I get instructions in time. ;)

   I don't have a lot of software and the stuff I have I'ld like to keep
     for my A1000.

   I'ld like to get $1200 for this setup but am more than willing to listen
     to reasonable offers. Even unreasonable ones. If it's too low I'll tell
     you.
     I've dropped the price down from my original $1700 because I need to sell
     this quickly so that I'll have the money when a system I need comes up for
     sale. I was planning on getting a new keyboard and mouse before I
     sold this system but at this price I don't know if I'll be able to afford
     to, but I'm still open to offers! 

    Thanks!

Anyone remember the old Chicklet keyboards?? They were the original PCjr
keyboards and use remote control. They can still be interfaced directly via
a cable to a computer if that is preferred.

I took one apart to see the circuit... it's kinda neat, especially if
someone is wishing to make use of the remote control circuit for some other
application. Anyhow...

While my newsreader isn't complicated enough to handle killfiles or other
features, I guess after misc. dialogues with other netters, I'm starting to
agree with those that say splitting this group would be a bad idea.  Here's
an alternate idea: standardized message tops... starting all subject lines
with...

MAC:
PC:
HD:
SOFTWARE:
WANTED:

or something to that effect...  then it would easier to scan down the long
list of titles.  When people don't conform to the agreed convention, lots
of cross-posting would not occur so there is less (no?) chance for
disaster...

Opinions?

The Engineering Computer Network at Purdue University has de-commissioned

5) Sun 3/280 processor boards.  Two boards are available now, and

   color board (no color monitor), console system, no disk.  This system

   elsewhere.  Asking $10,000.

1) Symbolics 3600 Lisp Machine.  System was purchased damaged for spare 
   parts.  There are several logic boards which will work in a 3600 or 3670 
   machine.  This system was never made operational.  Made a great set of
   spares!  Asking $1,000.

several) TekTronix 4014 and 402X graphics terminals.  Contact me

So why make another groups series to have to post to.  Leave things alone. 
Kill files are not that bad.

You know that anyone who REALLY wants to sell something is gonna cross post
to all three groups that are already here, and any new groups that are
created.
