Couldn't have done better myself.

I am a MAJOR luddite Buff. I *LOVE* old technology, especially when how incredibly simple they are, and how they can do a LOT that modern computers can do (in fundamentals). The fun things I like to play with are the DDC Controller's that honeywell uses. Anyone up for a 4Mhz 68000 CPU and 64KB ram?

The DDC also has a version that uses the PPC 601e CPU (yes, they made them, but they are industry components, not computer) And they had a whopping 96KB Ram!!! talk about luxury!!!

if you don't know what a DDC Controller for Honeywell is, they are programmed for Temperature Controll in Large Buildings. They can be used to control temperature within 3/10ths of a Degree at ANY Time. They also hook up in a network and are smart controllers. They use the HYNTP (Honeywell network technology Protocol) and are REALLY cool, because they work in a P2P system

Anyways, back to the technology, I had a TRS-80 Model 100 Portable that was REALLY cool

Everything ran on 4 AA's

the Floppy ran on 4 AA's, the computer ran on 4 AA's, the tape drive, and even the Phone Coupler!!! (well, ok, it ran on 4 D batteries, but still!)

But like I said, *VERY* nice haul if I might say. have fun playing with your newly acquired Wealth!!!
