HERE!!

Just starting to list the stuff. It's Buy-It-Now or make a Best Offer. I have plenty more to be listed as time permits.

Ok! Several items sold within the first 24 hours, such as the Aprospand cart expander and the 1750 REU are gone!

I have LISTED quite a few more items tonight! Such as Icepic, Supersnapshot, Koala Pad etc!

If you are interested hurry as I expect everything to move! Example, the 128D has 9 watchers so far and offers should start rolling in! The prices are my asking price, but the listing are set up with Best Offer feature. Don't like the price? Make an offer!  :-D

I'm curious about the RS-232 adapter.  You mention that CP/M has a max through-put of 1200bps... I thought at one time I came across a mod for CP/M that increased that to something like 4800 or 9600bps due to the increased speed of the Z80 (I recall running DesTerm 128 at 9600, so the hardware should be capable of it.)

The mod you saw probably increased the speed of the console (CCP), not the rs232. The CP/M mode max speed for user port rs232 is 1200 baud. This has to do something with the way the Z80 is implemented in the 128 (I'm no expert). The 128 mode or even 64 mode can do much higher than the CP/M mode.

Stuff that's unsold so far (but has tons of watchers) has been price reduced. This stuff has to go!!

@hamtronix

Nope, no one has been able to figure it out yet. Some time ago some on IRC (iirc) made a guess it may be for Jane128, but something didn't fit so we kind of dropped that idea. I really don't know.

Oh yeah, the Isepic just sold. Good stuff, get it while it's hot! :-D

I believe the mystery item is a Partner 128 by Timeworks.  When in 128 mode and the button is pushed it should bring up a menu of maybe 6 or 8 items such as a memo pad, calculator, address book, etc. which can be run while not losing whatever it was you were doing on the 128.  I'm thinking back a lot of years here.  Hope this helps.  Dan
