Wow...$324.52. Anyone here the winner? That was about twice my max bid. :-( I would be curious to know the deal with the BIOS identification.
The first computer we had a home for the family was a Tandy 1000SL. A number of years later I was online with the Delphi online service, and someone in the Tandy group was giving away a 3000HD, so I acquired it for the cost of shipping, and thus was the first computer that was truly mine. Came with a CM-1 monitor (had issues, ugly display, but it worked - wish now I had kept it anyway). Upgraded it in various ways and eventually upgraded into a custom 386 and went on from there. The 3000 got set aside, and ultimately the battery leaked, messed up the motherboard a bit, and turned the case into a rusty mess. I tore it apart some years back with the intent to try to clean up the rust and see if I might be able to get it going again, but never made it any further. Probably need to sandblast it or something...probably should do something before it rusts away to nothing, even if I can't get it going again.
If anyone has a spare 3000 motherboard (or whole computer) laying around they want to sell, please keep me in mind...
