Hi Ryan,
The intel system appears to be an SDK85 in circuit emulator. I used one
extensively in the mid 1980’s to develop 8085 hardware / software. The 8085
processor is removed from the “computer” and the in circuit emulator
adapter/umbilical cord installed. All code was written in assembler and could
be tested and debugged without ever burning a eprom. Amazing system. Looks like
you have most of the manuals.

The emails keep pouring in, including multiple people interested in taking
the whole lot. Instead of replying to individuals, I went to the storage
locker in Newmarket tonight and made a 10 minute video quickly rifling
through boxes and showing some stuff. It's not particularly detailed but
you'll get a sense of what's in the storage locker. Note that none of the
stuff I listed separately at the end of my original email (for kijiji or
ebay) is shown because those are in my basement. It's really late and I
don't have time to make a video of those right now. I will be busy Friday
from 6 AM - 9 PM.

I'm sure there is more not shown in the videos. For example, I later dug
deep to the bottom of a box and found a whole bunch of TRS-80 external floppy
drives.
To the people interested in the whole lot, after watching the video, if you
are still interested, please email an offer to me. Whoever has the best
offer can have it all. I need the storage locker emptied. If you want
the other stuff I listed (C64C/1082/1541, PET 2001-8, PET 8032, Apple
IIe/II+/monitor, Mac IIci, Mac LCII, etc.) please indicate that in your
offer. Otherwise I can sell those individually to the best offer.
I'm available Saturday or Sunday. I have a trailer hitch and can help tow a
UHAUL enclosed trailer if needed.
Thanks for all the interest! Sorry I didn't reply to everyone individually.
I thought making a video would be better.

Wow I got an overwhelming response to this post... It looks like pictures
would be helpful. I will have to find some website to upload the small
handful of photos I have and post a link here late tonight. I am working
right now and will be busy until at least 9:00 PM.
I'm not sure how to handle multiple people asking for the same pieces..
there is also someone considering buying everything!

I kept my vintage computer collection in a storage locker while living in
an apartment. Last year I bought a house and moved everything I can into
my basement. There is no more room so I've decided to let go of the pieces
that don't fit within the focus of my collection as well as duplicates of
what I have already. Much of it used to be part of Dave Dunfield's
collection. If someone were to take everything, you'd need a UHAUL trailer
or a van. The storage locker is in Newmarket.
There's some Commodore stuff... mostly things like joysticks, floppy disks,
power supplies, one Commodore PC etc. There is Atari stuff, lots of TRS-80
stuff, COLECOVISION Adam stuff, many S-100 cards, many manuals, an old
Tektronix calculator, Heathkit computer, Osborne Vixen, Franklin Ace 100
and 1000, Intel development computer (for chip design), Superbrain S100
computer with 8-inch floppy drives, etc.
Everything must go. I want to stop paying for the storage locker and hope
to save this stuff from the landfill by finding new homes for them ASAP.
If you or anyone you know might be interested in something (or
everything!), please contact me off list: ryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I have
SOME photos that I can send. Let me know what you are interested in. I
need to drive almost an hour to get to the locker so I'd prefer to just
meet someone instead of going just to take more pictures and inventory.
If you can give some cash for the lot, that would be appreciated, but
really I just need it gone and I'm not looking to make a lot of money from
it.
I also have some other machines that I will be selling on Kijiji or eBay.
If someone is interested, let me know before I post them:
- Commodore 64C computer, 1802 monitor, 1541C floppy drive. All in original
boxes, have not tested.
- Commodore PET 8032. I think it worked last time I tried
- Commodore PET 2001-8, different tape drive installed, not mounted. Tape
drive doesn't work, might have other issues
- Commodore desk for the VIC20/C64. It is missing the round C64 sticker on
the drawer.
- Apple Macintosh IIci with colour monitor, keyboard, mouse, manuals,
original boxes. Working last time I tried them.
- Apple Macintosh LCII with colour monitor, keyboard, mouse, manuals,
printer. No boxes. Working last time I tried them.
- Apple IIe, two versions (with and without numeric keypad). Both yellowed,
unknown condition
- Apple II+, unknown condition
- Apple II colour monitor
I am willing to trade for a very nice working Commodore 64 with complete
original box in very good condition (including all literature, plastic
bags, etc.) That's the condition I expect for the majority of my collection.
