ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2017 Entry 12th December 2017: Post: 1 I N C U M I N G !!!!!! I have been on a mission for the whole of this year to unbox as much as I can and check the general state of computers and to where possible fire up and maybe do a modest amount of repairs. As ever I find myself scratching my head as to the whereabouts of a couple of computers... The TRS-80 Portable and MC-10. And so it was time to get the potholing gear out again for a bit of frenzied spelunking and open up those plastic tubs and see if I can put in my thumb I pull out a couple of plums. Right size box but wrong OS Nothing here but VIC stuff Amiga heaven D-Paint Comic Setter Time to open those 500s Looks like a valuable calculator As I thought .. a KIM-1 Man I wish I hadn't found that I just can never resist At the bottom already and no TRSs What's that Spectrum game doing in an A500 box.. Whoo !! an Amiga mouse And there is the cheese.. Holding the 520 in the other of the A500 boxes All the paperwork in this one OK getting warm.. Found the manuals TRS-80 but way too big Amazing what you find in C64 boxes Terminated There is the GX4000 box.. Er not playing anymore Amstrad games. Focus Stacks of Amiga magazines... Everywhere Atari 400 I'm sure these reproduce in these tubs Loadsa MSX's Yamaha Another Yamaha.. and just out of view the first of the TRS computers I needed I was too busy looking at the 464Plus The very colourful TI.. Press any key Whoo Hoo .. Munch Man.. Steady I have a few TI-99s. Strange power connector A school of Aquirii !! Enough Already.. Happily I found what I was looking for Found two Model 100s and both work The one had some real 'acky!! batteries in The NEC PC-8300 which is basically a Model 100 but slightly different.. Also working A working Mitsubishi ML-F80 to make up for the recent failure. This one has a wired-in cassette recorder. Also looks like it worked in a brick factory in a previous life. A bit weathered The TI-99 to put through its paces Another HiT-BiT Another Toshiba for a colour review How did that get in there The PPC512 with two floppy drives Not one but two more Notebooks putting total number now up to four. More 2032s ordered And there she is the MC-10 And there she is Alice Same computer.. Different colour Though the one has a way better manual TRS manuals are so dreary TI's are a touch better I just had to pull the mouse from the Amiga 500 box Planning on some pics of Casio calcs I'll review these two C64 goodies Also all my batteries have arrived For the little Acorns and Portfolio Amazingly this takes a battery Wafer thin Classic bit of kit All done I have placed my salvaged goods on the photo room bench and I shall be doing the do over the coming days. Good stuff I do believe it's getting cold. Maybe time to put on the heating. Just means switching in a few more computers.. As you do !!
