Re: Exidy Sorcer computer.
I have an Exidy Sorcerer that I purchased when they first came on sale and I have a standard S100 bus chassis and an interface that I built myself to allow me to connect to the S100 bus and build extra memory and connect two 8" 1.2MB drives. The drives allowed me to use some more commercial software such at Wordstar etc. The system still works OK although my monitor failed and I have not had time to modify or find another old one to use.
I still have a range of documentation on the system such as circuit diagrams etc. Is there anything that you particularly want in relation to the system?

Ahhh, those were the days, weren't they? . . . The good ole 300 baud modem daZe . . . my seven year old granddaughter won't even use the Net unless she has a high speed connection . . . My grandfather walked five miles to school each day, I had to use a 300 baud modem . . . I wonder what sad tales she will tell her grandkids.
Thanks for bringing up those Exidy memories, Wayne. It's been nice thinking about them again.
