    HG> I doubt it but I can imagine myself turning on my CP/M machine   
    HG> again but at the time being it and its accessories are in their   
    HG> delivery cartons.   
      
   EV> I've always heard the item can be sold for a higher price if the Box   
   EV> is included.   
      
   That and the original users manual are important items for the resale   
   price of almost any gear.   
      
   EV> I'm just wondering...is Your CP/M machine a PDP???? ??   
      
   What is that??   
      
    HG> Some day later I realized that I had wrongly accused Commodore   
    HG> for that. Instead it was Compaq that was the culprit intended.   
      
   EV> Hey!, they both start with the Third Letter of the Alphabet don't   
   EV> they?   
      
   That was the problem, hi.   
      
   EV> The Radio Shack TRS80 pc's had ONE signal line INVERTED also.   
   EV> Owners of those pc's had to buy Cards from RS to plug into the slots   
   EV> of their computers.   
   EV> iirc, ISA Cards made by other companies wouldn't work in the early   
   EV> TRS80 models that RS sold.   
      
   That can be called really dirty tricks.
