I didn't put the KVM up on e-bay, thought I would give everyone here a shot first. I don't know where to even start the bidding at. I know its impossible to pick one up at this quality and features these days. All of the ones I have seen are USB and switched with key combinations on keyboards, never mind have all the ports on the back.
I wouldn't mind keeping this, but I need to make room, and all of my e-bay winnings go back into my Amiga fund. (both Red and Amigakit.com have seen it- LOL) :-D
I Would be open to trades. Since the people from the UK seem to think an A 600's is cheaper than water out there, how about some horse swapping? :crazy:

back...
putting up on ebay now.. I will pull the add if someone wants to trade an old A600. Doesn't have to be fancy or even a HD unit. All I ask is that they have the "introduction to" book. I don't even need a P/S or disks.

Dropped the BIN on all items,The BIN for the KVM switch is $49.95 Ebay.ca (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=170281592529)
I guess nobody collects Tandy PC's anymore :-o

(BUMP)
there is about 2 hours left in the Auctions (except the KVM switch) and it looks grim. I guess the Tandy PC market has really died away.
It looks like nobody wants the KVM switch either at a BIN of $49.99. I paid $75 for it plus I had to buy the cables separately. :cry:

Isn't the Tandy just another random PC clone? That probably explains why...
BTW, interesting website on the Tandy stuff =).

Tandy's (1000) were more based off the PC JR, they had better graphics (Tandy's own graphics)and were built a lot different than most PC clones of the day,I won't go into the real differences, there are tons of web sites out there for that- but that is why most games had Tandy specifically mentioned on the box (IE: for Tandy and PC)because the graphics where much more enhanced than the CGA graphics at the time. There was a strong market for them a few years back, now???????

BTW for those that asked , The KVM did Not sell.
