I think I've fallen ill, mentally, if you will.

[§ane]

My mind not entirely made up yet, it's stewing, see, I'm posting this now then leaving it here to foment, to see the kind of response received.

I'm looking to hand my retro collection to one actively contributing to the SPS project since I will knowingly never in good time contribute personally, not before the magnetic poles of this Earth flip, that or solar radiation rendering all magnetic media kaput. It's brewing as I type. Yes, quite mad, or quite sane? Ah-ha!

Atari 520STfm
Large box full of misc. documents.
Will throw in dozen Joysticks, but as for the Star-Cursor Professional Computer Joystick System Model No. MCA 201, I'm keeping him.

My shit is in varying condition from downright poor to fair working order to excellent state. Although probably wouldn't know to look at, half my wares were sourced from local op-shops where were more than likely turfed about a lot. The other half originate from better homes.

This is no social engagement, one must drive here (being the northern suburbs of Perth, WA) with one objective, the goods! Load my shit in or on your four wheeled wagon the best way one can, then make like a tree and get the hell out, as in make haste, my shit now your shit, head home with a dirty big grin ["Sucker!"].

Really, I stress to a good home, not to be sold for personal profit at least until all is appropriately SPS saved.

"Does this mean you make like a tree and leave?"
It's the contrary, friend. This will bestow some peace of mind unto me knowing a good and fully capable citizen is dumping my shit.

Free. No catch than that specified. "Oh, and there's one more thing. One day, a kid, or a crazy wild-eyed scientist who claims to be a scientist is gonna come around asking ..."

PERTH!!!!


AAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!

[DrBong]

I live in Perth. PM sent

[§ane]

Well then, DrBong, enjoy the new midst your vast retro possessions and the little death uh I mean nostalgia that comes with.

Just to verify:
- You're carting the entire lot back with you, let's hope in one trip if that's even possible. Misc. manuals, papers, etc. I'll understand if you don't want to lob those home.
- You will see to it personally that all originals are SPS treated, this someday includes preserving the C64 Tapes, CopyProtection and all.
- As for the 1000+ odd copies, compilations, what have yous, be such a crime not to ADF and have TOSECtorized.

[T_hairy_bootson]

@DrBong: If you are willing to part with the busted 1010 external drive I would give it a good home next to my A1000. I have a 1010 that was painted black to match a CDTV (not by me) that could do with a new case.

If you are willing to send it to Melbourne maybe we could arrange a fair price + postage.

Also if you don't want the Atari ST... let me know

Manure... I hate manure...

edit: Also although he doesn't post here at all these days I know |cy[ool is always on the look out for original c64 tapes, so if you don't want those maybe get in contact with him.

I'll probably forgo the manuals and papers in the interest of space (not only in my car but my garage!).

Certainly all the games on disk.....and the C64 tapes if the SPS team expand their preservation efforts to include them somewhere down the track.

Might make arrangements with a TOSEC nut (like Andreas or preferably someone closer to home) for this one to happen.

The 1010 is yours for the price of postage. Dunno what I'll do with the Atari ST. I'll keep you in mind if none of my mates want it or if I'm not enthused enough by it to keep it around.

[whiteb]

Damnit, $ane has gone insane..

WHY WHY WHY did I move from Perth to Melbourne <cries>

[edit] for curiosity sake, where abouts in Perth are you DrBong ? I lived in Armadale.

[gizmomelb]

if there are any Amiga magazines I'm more than happy to pay for postage to Melbourne! (assuming there's not like 3 tonnes of them ).

also, I don't suppose you've got a VGA adaptor for the Amiga please?

[§ane]

@T_hairy_bootson: Do test the 1010 before rearranging its innards, I may have had two and binned the dud one.

That slacker!

@DrBong: 'fraid you're gonna need to pull a bloody good size trailer with cage up, one cannot haul this load else.

I've been known to immensely underestimate. The disk boxes are stacked four high, the first level is obscured, and not everything is pictured, couple more large containers to enter yet!

Edit: When it's all compacted it'll probably measure abouts 1.5m x 1m x 1.5m (H) or greater!

[StarEye]

It's... beautiful... *sob*

[DamienD]

Wow §ane, that is a lot of stuff your giving away

[whiteb]

Geezus §ane, you will have one EMPTY house

[Eny-]

It's beautiful mate

...and very generous of you

I'm in Beaconsfield (near Freo).

[§ane]

Uncovered some stuff:

Amiga OS 3.5 (As new, recall violating the shrinkwrap)
BattDisk - Battery Backed Static RAM Board - For the A2000 and A3000 (My kind of hardware, but the 2MB I think is missing)
Mini Magic Card (Minus the Card, left with box and couple' chips)

Shit is packed, ready to lug out the door. Shit is heavy, be wary of injury to oneself including but not limited to brick related mishaps.

'course what, if anything, is left here, in worst case scenario, may wind up on the tip, then you can be sure I've lost my sanity.

[BippyM]

Look if push comes to shove I'll take the lot..

You can cover postage seeing as I'll be doing you a huge favour in taking all that crap

(Yer mad you!!)

I think you have gone mad.....that's one big motherload! Fortunately I know someone with a trailer PM me and lemme know if the weekend suits for the great C= pick-up.

[BippyM]

I know someone with a trailer or 2.. getting it from UK to OZ is another matter lol

[§ane]

Um bring plenty of rope? And maybe something to cushion... Come prepared in other words... Heh

Probably a bit of a run to §ane's place but worth it..

I used to get alot of goot work out of beaconsfield, when I was a Taxi driver in Perth.

But i am still kicking myself..., When i was in Perth, I had a 14 seat maxi taxi I could have loaded to the rim with gear, and a Mazda E1800 I used as a courier van that could have stolen alot of that gear

OH WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
