1. my retro collection UPDATE
proteanthread · Wed, 01 Nov 2006 17:17
I am currently working on a list and will be posting it to my website
shortly:
http://www.rtdos.com/list.txt (dead link right now but should be up
sometime next week)
so if you are interested in my collection, please check there first
to see what is available; its on a first come first served basis
(recipient must pay for all shipping up front) however i will honor
the best offer (i've already recieved hundreds of emails and phone
calls); i don't like doing this (i'm already regretting it) but i
absolutely have no room (or money for storage) that i want to give my
collection someone or multiple someones who appreciates these retro
systems.
i have no intentions of leaving the retro community (my alt os for
games based on the classic systems is still my priority); currently
i'm looking to download (or get someone to donate cd's or dvd's of)
emulators, sources, bios's, roms, programs, etc. that pertain to
these systems that i have (or had at one time).
its like giving a puppy or a kitten up for adoption, you want to make
sure that they get a good home; thats the way i feel with my retro
stash (of course i am to blame if nothing works for i kept my
collection in storage for 10 years); basically i want to give my
collection to the community (i will part out,but each recipient must
pay shipping in full up front) as my collection is as much a part of
me as it is a part of the retro community.
so if anyone wants to donate cd's or dvd's of collections of
programs, emulators, sources, drivers, bios's, roms, etc. of anything
retro related (even if they are not to recieve any part of my
collection) i'd appreciate it (as i said i have no intentions of
leaving the retro community once my physical collection is
depleted). :-)
right now i have about 40 more of appx. 50 boxes left to go through,
i have about a dozen or so monitors (composite so they should work
with nearly any system with an rca jack); several boxes of ibm pc
compatible cards (already claimed by a local pc repair service),
several printers (atari, tandy, commodore, apple), tons of books and
manuals, etc. (don't worry i have another storage area that'll i'll
be going through once the stuff in my house is depleted)
