I'm taking a straw poll here.... how many folks are interested in obtaining
a Prime 50-series computer (in general, not a specific model) for their
collection?
I'm not really wanting to count anyone who thinks "yeah, I'd take one if it
showed up on my doorstep for free". I'm more interested in a rough count of
people who want one enough to actually drive a ways, or pay shipping plus
"token" amount, etc. Someone who would seriously pursue one if it became
available to them.
If you meet that criteria, let me know!

ugh and here I was thinking someone sent him a fat
Mac. WS monitors work readily with even the oldest Mac
IIs w/an appropriate card. Never did it with a G3 but.

expect to get that money for each when he dumps them

make the most sense to spread them out.

My two new Onyx machines are almost naked! One has a top, side and
front skin. The other has a top skin only.
So, I am looking for skins for the box so that I can make them pretty.
The Challenge/L machines use the same enclosure, so the skins from
those can be used.
Can anyone help me out?

There may have been Apple machines with ST-506s but unless my memory
is much worse than I hope, there was never a Macintosh with an
ST-506. Unless you're thinking of the "Macintosh Hard Disk 20"?
But looking through old emails, that has a Rodime Model 552 drive
inside with a mysterious 26 pin interface, not an ST-506.

Outbound was a company. So they were producing non-Apple
Macintoshes by scavenging Apple ROMs from Apple machines.
The model number in this case is the Laptop Model 125. A very cool
machine with four SIMM sockets devoted to a "silicon disk"--that is a
dedicated RAM Disk. You could install up to 16MB in there--at
least. I have not tried 16 MB SIMMs yet.
The keyboard was detachable and had an IR interface. It also had a
trackbar ("isopoint") at the bottom of the keyboard. A ?-bus (not
PS2, not ADB that other one used on PCs (required an ISA card) with a
round connector) mouse could be plugged into the keyboard if one
preferred a mouse. Additionally, using the optional SCSI adapter,
the Laptop could be "docked" as an accessible SCSI device on any
Macintosh with a SCSI interface.

The Laptop 125 was around as early as February 1990. I'm not
certain exactly when it was first released. It pred-dates the
Powerbooks. So, e.g. the cool SCSI docking feature was available on
an Outbound, long before it was a feature on the PowerBooks.
