Four beige PPC towers & three 5.25 FDDs.

Posted by: MinerAl on 2013-03-22 21:45:49 Dad's job was cleaning out the last of their Macs. I previously picked up a 950 from them, but this time I got two 8500/120s and two G3/266 beige towers. One of the G3s is supposed to have a G4 of some flavor in it, but I haven't dug that far into them yet. They are disgustingly dusty, so I'll break out the compressor and blow them out before I get too deep into them. I did already harvest the 1 Gig (Quantum) & 2 Gig (something else) SCSI HDs out of the 8500s. I grabbed three Apple II FDDs since they were also on the pile to be "divested of." Two of them are Rana Systems EliteThree brand boxes, but the mechanicals look the same as the Disk ][. There's a couple of ADKs and MacAlly one button boy-mice, too. Pretty good for having to fill out their "donation receipt" so they can itemize them.
