I have an Altos 986 and a 586 with one monitor and keyboard, complete with an original User manual and a photocopied 586 Maintenance manual. Couple of key tops missing on keyboard. Systems last booted about 10 years ago and they worked then - been collecting dust in my loft ever since. Time for them to go to someone who wants them ;) Essex UK
 
Well I'm in luton, which is not a million miles from the london end of essex, but I'm 3 days from moving house.

I'm definitely prepared to give them a home, if you're prepared to wait a week or two while I get sorted. I don't know anything about the systems, but DON'T SKIP THEM!!!!

Give me a Private Message with an address, If it isn't toooooo far away, I'll pick up, otherwise I'll arrange a carrier, i.e. I'll see what I can do! Don't use email, as that's NTL & about to die!

Best wishes,

Nig.
 
Trust me, they're well worth the effort, Nige, if you're interested in running multi-user, multi-tasking OS on an 8088 (Concurrent CP/M (DOS), or Xenix). Did ya see the Altos 586 that sold on eBay yesterday for over 350.00?

Sadly I can't watch Ebay in the US as well as the UK, The US one seems to have many goodies on it, & my income won't stretch that far!!!

Besides which I have to spend a certain amount of time on the stuff I have, I've got quite a bit going, but there's still a lot of dead (but tasty) wood. I can't resist a dinosaur with a low price tag.

I'll probably go "offline" on tuesday for a few days.
