Literally a week after I found my 128, I found another great deal on a 512! Advertised as not working, I bought it because it was cheap and had something very special on the inside...
Yep, MacSnap SCSI and 2MB RAM upgrade! Easy fixes on this one too - the entire analog board needed resoldering and the eject motor had a bad gear. Now it seems to be working great! I'm pretty happy; I got a 128 and a souped-up 512ke for less than $100 each, shipped.

Sounds like a couple of serious scores! Congrats!
(and I’m just a little jealous 😉 )

So the 800k floppy drive died overnight... Mechanically it's fine but electrically it won't read disks anymore. Not sure what's up with that but I had a spare drive in my junk box that I lubed up and it seems to be working fine now.
Does anyone know what resistor packs I need to get for the MacSnap SCSI card? Mine didn't come with any termination resistors installed and I think I need that if I want to take advantage of the SCSI port.
