An interesting item that I have recently located is a CMT MC-II 8088 CMOS Microcomputer System as shown.

This item was manufactured by Corvallis Microtechnolgy Inc of Corvallis, OR USA and their current web site is at
http://www.cmtinc.com/

This minicomputer comes with

MC-BASIC
MC-ROS
128 KB SRAM
MC-41M (HP-41CX Emulator)



Original Power supply
MC-41M Book
MC-II POD



Unit was built in the late 80's (87 - 88) and is in decent condition but having some problems getting it powered up at the current time. I will have further details when listed when listed

Unit will be listed on eBay in the month of August or September of 2006 -- if you have an interest in this item please email me at

info@fivestargeneralstore.com

and I will notify you when it will/is to be listed - I am thinking a starting bid of 49.99 for the lot as shown and I should have some extra info by that time.

If you wish to email me on any info you have (such as clock speed, specs) I would appricate it as little can be found on the net.

These web pages and sites below reference the CMT MC-II in one degree or the other.

With all the sites getting on the internet -- one that seems like it will go places is www.shopify.com

Shopify allows dang near anyone the chance to sell items online without many of the hassles that accompy selling online .To me its easier than eBay and will allow almost anyone the privelige of trying out selling online.


While I doubt the claims you can start selling in 10 -15 minutes -- you can start a store with minimal effort.

Best to read this on the site but here is what I see so far -

1)Easy sign up
2)Excellent group to deal with
3)No hassles installing server based software
4)Only costs if you sell - no sales = no fees
5)Ability to edit templates to suit your own designs
6)Assistance in the form of a user forum
7)Simple to understand
8)Only 3 percent sales commission


If you wanted to try your hand at trying an online store here is you chance --

You will need a Paypal account and a Credit card to sign up

Resently I aquired a vintage HP (Hewlett Packard) Flexible Disc Drive unit as shown (I think we call them just plain old "floppy drives" now .

This is a model 9130A and as you can see it is in very nice condition. If my simple research is correct it was first produced in 1982 to work with a HP 86A computer (which had none) . It is a single sided 5 1/4" floppy drive holding an fantastic 270K.

Currently I have this 9130A up for auction on eBay for a starting bid of 19.99 (shipping extra).

I have resently purchased 5 or 6 boxes of vintage computer and/or HP (Hewlett Packard) stuff - and it will be listed as time permits on eBay and/or at www.FiveStarGeneralStore.Com .

If you would like to check this drive out better - go to :

Sometimes a person runs across a real neat item -- this is a 1924 electrical supply catalog for the Fobes Supply Company that had warehouses in Portland, Oregon San Francisco, California Seattle, Washington Oakland,California

This is Catalog Number 21 printed in 1924 It is hard bound, 621 pages, illustrated with index. this is NOT a repro book -

A fantastic reference source for collectors, restorers, that need or want a ORIGINAL catalog of many many items that now , over 80 years later need access to drawings, stock numbers, descriptions of things such as:
Household appliances, Electric ranges, water heaters, heaters, hair dryers, (quack) Medical machines, home wiring, plugs, sockets, lamps, knob-and-tube wiring. insulators and crossarms, bolts, tools, blow torches, fuses, switches, lamps, floodlights, street lamps, reflectors, fish paper, fans, motors, gauges, bells, telephones, telegraph keys, power pole hardware, wire, conduit, electrical boxes and more





To what I have read Fobes Supply Company had a electrical wholesale warehouse at 558-560 First Avenue South in Seattle, Washington . This is an area near Qwest Field and near the Alaska Way Viaduct. This is in an area of recent earthquake damaged buildings. I am not sure what happened to the company but records of earthquake damages still list this address as "Fobes" Company started in 1902 and had at one time 3 other warehouses .

If you can relate some more history here - please comment -- I would like to know more about the comapany and its history . I read one blog that stated a unique way it was aquired.

If you would like to bid on this book and see other photos of the pages -- look at this link
