IIgs Woz Edition with destroyed case
Posted by: Mr. 680x0 on 2007-07-21 17:57:10
I found a couple old AT PCs in the scrap pile at my local dump and carried them up to my mom's car. I went back and did a bit of poking around and couldn't find anything other than a couple crushed PCs. I then noticed a piece of damaged beige plastic that was obviously the 'snow white' design. I went over and saw that it was a IIgs Woz Edition. The case was in really poor shape, broken and mangled. I threw it in the back of the car and hoped for the best. I brought it home, plugged it into my //e's color monitor and turned it on, and VOILA! Got a message about checking the startup disk or whatever.

Now I just need a case for it, and an OS. 😀 I already have a IIgs floppy drive.

If I can't get a case for it, expect to see me make a new one for it out of something. 😀

Well, it sounds like a true liberation!

Very nice! My advice would be to keep the Woz IIgs case, even though it is destroyed, that way you can prove that it actually is/was a Woz IIgs! 😉

Any thoughts about recasing it? I love doing recasings into non-computer cases.
