Wishing all here a very Happy New Year! Along with some other folks in 2017 I have decided I am going to ripple through all of my vintage systems and warm their beautiful and friendly caches.
I won't have a problem with my BBC Micro, Atari 1040ST, Amiga 500's, 2000's, 3000 and 4000 and the PowerMac's but what I really would like is to bring my Cromemco back on line. I have the cards (DPU, 256KZ, 16FDC plus sundry others e.g. Quadart, IOP) and drives (Tandon TM100 5" and dual TM848 8") but although I have a naked Blitz Bus I lack a decent chassis. This is a plea for any kind soul with a spare or unwanted chassis who is prepared to let one go to help me out. Ideally a CS/3 chassis would be preferable however a Z2D, Z2 or even a System 1 chassis would be gratefully given a loving and permanent home. Naturally, given the weight of same, I expect I would have to pick up or arrange transport so regretfully any offers would have to be UK-based. The CS/3, and the Z2/Z2D had power supplies designed to handle a fully loaded bus of 21 S-100 cards (although I never handled one with more than 12 or so) and were one of those rare systems which could pass Navy certification i.e. survive being stood on by a rating in full gear and boots so were quite substantial. I would also be very interested in a 64FDC and any 5Mb or 20Mb IMI drives as I have a WDI-II controller, alternatively an STDC controller. James ---- James Attfield West Midlands, UK G8ZMP
