[Coco] Selling my 512k Coco-3 and related items

[Stephen Fischer]

Well after a nap I realized that the first ICs I got were RTL, Resister 
Transistor Logic. I have a book full of them and about 75 Gold plated 
ICs in my parts bin.

Then there was the Transistor Transistor Logic, a book for T squared 
Logic with ~ 100 - 200 ICs of then of various types and then came MOS, 
CMOS, with lots more books and then Linear.

I ordered about 9 books from National and got about four. I drove over 
and was directed to the right building where the lady at the desk told 
me to go through a door which I did. I was then at ground level 
overlooking a huge building that went down about four floors and was 
able almost to allow several 747s to take off at the same time next to 
each other. I got my books but was totally amazed as it was ALL BOOKS.

What totally amazes me is what I used narrow tape laid down on bare 
copper boards to make PCs the experts today are using their computers to 
design CoCos on a chip or other circuits, ordering PC boards to add IC's 
without legs or even getting fully ready to use boards from China in a 
few days.

I remember the first IC a Professor was so proud of as he had put in in 
a circuit with some switches and lights that demonstrated that it was a 
working AND gate. That was the one and only IC at that time in the 
entire Electrical Engineering department of the University of Wisconsin.
