So in the thread about Druid needing an AT&T 6300 keyboard, there was the e-mail of some guy with a system he needed to get rid of. After Druid declared he just wanted keyboard, not a whole setup, I immediatley pounced. As it turned out, the guy was in Fort Worth, and I was in Denton. We met half-way in Grapevine. Luckily, the guy was the original owner, and he retired the computer to his attic in 1998. He also was a packrat, and had EVERYTHING to do with the system. He had all the manuals, docs, purchase papers, even his request to his boss for $3500 towards the purchase of a new computer. He even had all original boxes and such.
Lets get to the system itself!
It is an AT&T 6300 with a tad of yellowing on the front, but I have an extra case with no yellowing, so thats not an issue. It is all original, and even has an AT&T issue RAM upgrade. The card boosts it from an estimated 256Kb to a whopping 640Kb. It is a dual floppy system, and its LED works great. The keyboard it came with works great, like new, as well as the mouse. And get this; When the AT&T keyboard gets a mouse, it needs a chip installed. The guy even gave me the old chip!!! It also has a color monitor, but there appears to be something wrong with it. When I turn it on, I can see the text, but there is a shade of white over it, with lines, as if the (brightness or contrast, I forget) was turned too high. I didn't feel like messing around, so I hooked up my different looking color monitor. It came with software such as Word Perfect, The original Flight Simulator with box and manuals, Reflex, multi-mate, and all sorts of other goodies. It even cam with a Citizen printer with original boxes and such, which I haven't had the chance to test. There was even a strange adult game called Interlude II. It is innapropriate in everyway, but my parents demand I make it work on their computer(bwa chicka bah bah). The guy even got custom made covers for the keyboard and monitor.
Attached find pics.
It's not all the pics, but it is all you probably care to see.
P.S. My parents are trying to traumatize me, at least thats what I gather.
