Wow, as I am unloading this stuff, I am finally seeing what I really have. I didn't look at it all as I loaded it, I just stuck it in. Well, there is some really cool software and books here. For starters, there is a programming book written in 1969 for the PDP-8 family of computers. I took a glance at it, looks neat. Also, there are a few flight simulators. Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.1 on 3.5" 1.44MB disks, unopened is the one that stuck out. $39.96 at Wal*mart back in it's day. Another is Microsoft Space Simulator. No box, but has the manual and all 3 disks, which are still sealed. Furthermore, Super Huey III was in the bundle, as a matter of fact there are 2 of them, both unopened.
Loads and loads and loads of Commodore stuff and disks, including tape drives, disk drives, 2 monitors (Commodore 1702--BEST color I've ever seen on a TV, even has fantastic sound...clearer than my newer 2003 Emerson) and other cool items. A parallel port enclosure I found looks intresting. In box, with disks, it hooks to the parallel port of a PC to add an IDE HDD, floppy drive, or a zip drive. The kit I got is for an HDD only.
I've only done power on testing for stuff so far, except one XT and one color monitor. The XT works great, as does the monitor. So I know for sure I got ONE computer that works, lol.
BTW, most of the IBM stuff the guy says was from a Catholic School typing class that upgraded it's computers in the early 90s sometime. No one bought them at the sale held in a gym, so he got them all for free.
