First off greetings from Central Florida...
My collection is as follows (what little there is): ;)

Heathkit ET-3400 with 512 bytes of main memory.
Heahkit ETA-3400 Memory & I/O accessory.

TRS-80 Model 4 with Two disk drives and 128K memory.
TRS-80 15 Megabyte hard drive to go with above Model 4.

IBM PC/XT 5160 aquired 2 weeks ago at a thrift shop with 640K memory
all on motherboard. With 1 half height floppy drive and 1 tape drive also 20 Megabyte hard drive. But sadly no tapes for the tape drive. CGA adapter and IBM 5151 monochrome monitor. Replaced CGA card with western digital VGA card.

IBM PC 5150 aquired 1 week ago from computer store that was going
out of business. Has 640k Memory. 256k on board and 384k by way of
AST 6 pak plus card. Dual disk drives one Tandon the other MPI. Monchrome
adpater and 9" Monochrome monitor. Replaced Monchrome card with an Oak
037 board which supports VGA, EGA, CGA and MDA. A very unique video card.

Well that's it along with about a bunch of ISA and PCI expansion boards.

Not a bad little collection.

What sort of tapes does your drive take? Tell me what kind and I'll dig around, see if I can turn up any, I've got a bunch of different formats and don't use any of 'em anymore.

20 Meg could be dc2120 tapes. Probably a lot others too. If 2120, I have a few spare NOS if you want to try them.

Don't worry about me. I'm just jealous :D

I forgot to mention that my Model4 also has the micro-labs Hi resolution board in it. Does pretty good with what few programs support it. :D

Nice avatar there Kelly!

Tez I am very sure you will find that Model 4 there eventually. I would really like to get hold of an IBM PS/2 model 30/286
for a reasonable price with 30meg Hard drive. One of the few PS/2's with ISA slots.

I have taken some pictures of the tape drive. All I know is that it is made
by Toshiba.
