Do you still want to purchase the TI PASS system?

- brad -

Yes, how much? (Does it still work?

	Jed

Yeah, it works fine.  I did ESCAPE on it and it worked great.

As far as how much.  I really don't know.  I know how much it was when
we purchased it but that was 6 or so years ago.  Plus it's out dated.
Although the new LPC chips (at least a few of them)  will still take the
5220 data format.

What do you think it is worth?

- brad -

It was $25K when we bought it. I know because I was the one who bought it. There
was a big hassle because the way the purchase agreement was originally worded 
it looked like we might not have the rights to the data produced by the unit
and would have to pay $100/word for the words that WE produced.

Shortly after we bought the PASS they came out with a new one using 32010s. They
also laid off the people who did the PASS so there are several features that 
were never finished, like communicating with a host computer.

The first game it was used on was Star Wars which sold 15K units and which I
figured paid for the PASS.

My interest in the unit is mainly sentimental (I bought the VOTRAX system when
it became available a few years ago) so what do you think of $100 ?


	Jed 

$25k to $100  
mmmmmmm

I accept.

	Jed

mmmmmmm

What if, sometime in the future, someone needs to use the PASS system?

If you sell it to someone outside the company, it is gone.

If you sell it to me I will bring it in.

	Jed

Yes, but $100 is too little.  I would rather just keep the machine.
