| FREE Macs in Livermore area (NorCal) |

There's a guy on Craigslist giving away tons of free Mac stuff. I grabbed some, but he still had 4 Macs there including a pimped out 8600/300 plus other Apple goodies. I just don't have room to store any more Macs. I told him I'd post on here to see if anyone else is interested in picking up a few items.

Forgot to mention what I scored from there. I picked up a single Mac. He had a Macintosh Plus in its travel bag with an external floppy drive and SCSI HDD. I just couldn't leave it there. It looked so lonely. 😛
Also got a 1GB and 2GB Jaz drive with 3 1GB Jaz cartridges, plus a wooden box filled with System 7 (7.0 and 7.1 Pro) and System 6 floppies (6.0.3). So I think I have my System 7 disks covered. Should come in really handy.

I sent the poster a msg asking if he would ship any of the items but don't really expect a positive reply given the nature of Craigslist. So, would you be willing to pickup the 8600/300 logic board and CPU and ship to me in Oregon? Of course I would pay shipping and a small fee for your trouble. I would like to try transplanting the 300 board in my 8600/200, if the PSU pinouts are the same, otherwise I would at least have a spare board for my 8600/300. Thanks.

I can probably do that. I can just pick up the whole 8600 and gut it for you, and ship you both motherboards and CPUs. He has an extra motherboard and CPU for the 8600.
I could use the HDD out of it, then recycle the case.

Thanks for the offer, but to my surprise Chris replied positively to shipping the board and CPU; we just have to work out the details. If that doesn't work out I'll prevail upon your kindness again.

Just email Chris, he seems to be willing to ship computers.
