My First 68ks
Posted by: krfkeith on 2008-02-18 19:07:09
Well this past weekend was a good one for me! I got my first 68ks, for free too!

Mac Classic II (32mb RAM, maybe wrong there are two SIMMs)

Mac IIsi (don't know details)

Apple ImageWriter

Two HP Printers

Junk PC Monitor

SCSI HP Scanner (yes! for my NeXT!!)

Also, the woman said she had an Apple IIc+, a 128k, a 512k, a IIGS, and some other stuff for me but that it was in storage. Unfortunately one of the capacitors is shot in the Classic II (I isolated the one) so I'll have to replace that. The machines were pretty nasty, but luckily the dust provided a shield so they aren't very yelowed.

And....(drumroll please! 😛 ) The Ultimate Conquest!:

AN APPLE III!!!!! (yes 3 is correct)

I got this for $10 (bargained down from $25). it does work, and its in good condition, just a bit yellowed. I just need to get an OS on it.

Wooo!

P.S. I have also found another guy with two mac clones for me and couple of SGI and Sun boxes for free!

Did you get the Apple III from that Craigslist posting?

I emailed that guy and he never responded.

Veeeery cool. I've never even seen one.

I've got one SGI and one Sun, both freebies. It's kind of fun to branch out into new things. Solaris is free now, but good luck tracking down a copy of IRIX.
