So it's not so much conquest as "repossession" 8) I had totally forgotten I had these.
- A boxed Newer Technology MacClip, which I bought in a liquidation sale "just in case." This is going on my Q800, which will bump the CPU from 33MHz to 40MHz, and the 601 card from 66MHz to a blistering (eheheh) 80MHz!
- An ADB-Mac video switchbox with a crapload of matching cables and adaptors. Now that my IIci workstation's hard disk is pooping out, I think it's time to replace it with the Q800 and the switchbox will help with juggling ADB keyboards.
- A Farallon LocalTalk star topology hub.
I found more crap, and will shortly post pictures of my HP 9000 mini when I get it out, restored and booted, but this was the Apple-related things.
I found a couple CoCo 2s which I bought for a project I never got around to, as well as two Mattel Aquariuses (Aquarii?). I might put these up for sale later, though I can't vouch for their present function.

I had a CoCo 3 years and years ago. I spent a whole summer of various yard work and misc jobs saving for the CoCo 3, monitor, disk drive and joystick. It was a pretty underrated machine as I recall. It's too bad it didn't get more traction.

I have a CoCo 2 with the external floppy (2 bays, 1 drive installed) that I havn't done anything with since I got it ($10 at a recyclers).

If the 9000 is one of the 300 series 9000's then it is running on a Motorola 68K processor, just like the Macs!
I'm looking forward to the pics (I have an HP 9000/360 that I boot up from time to time, that I originally learned UNIX and C programming on) The SCSI card in it works great with an Apple CD 600e that I have and I'm really glad, since coming up with an HP-IB attached CD would be nearly impossible.

It is indeed. I forget the exact designation, but it was an '020 booting HP/sUX 9.
