Wish List.

I am on the lookout for ANY machines so DON'T throw that old computer away! I'll gladly take it off your hands. I'm also in contact with other collectors so any doubles I get can be quickly passed on to a good home. I will accept almost anything. Computers, Game Consoles, Calculators/Organisers Software on tape, disk or cartridge. Magazines from the 80s. Books and Manuals. You name it, I'll find a place for it. You can E-Mail me at: stevesm@zoo.co.uk or the 'Archive's own E-Mail address which is: oca@broadcast.net Alternately, use the quick e-mail box below.

My wish list at the moment is based around completeing the archive's Sinclair collection. Thanks to a lot of generosity the only machines it lacks are:

• A working Sincliar 128k-Plus 3 (or a working 3" disk drive to fix the current machine!)
• Sinclair PC-200*
• Timex/Sinclair 1500 * or any other US variants.
• Any Sinclair calculators*
• Any documents/peripherals for Sinclair equipment
• Your Spectrum/Sinclair, Crash, Sinclair User or Sinclair Computing Magazines

Other machines I would like for the archive are:

• Oric-1 to pair up with the Oric Atmos
• Sam Coupe
• Commodore SX-64*
• Apple 'Lisa' *
• Apple Mac colour 'Classic' or MAC-SE*
• MTX 512*
• Jupiter Ace
• Sord M5
