software, then presses the reset button for you. What else can I do
with this? What's the db-9 port for?

If this was me, I would sell each item separately, or find someone to do it
for me, for the next few years. I'd have two or three items posted per
week so that I could answer questions individually. You'll only get a
wholesale price with such a huge lot, but I assume the seller is motivated
by time. Certainly this is a two feet in the ocean vintage computer
collection none the less, even if there are not a lot of really rare items.
For all we know the seller is keeping the "good stuff" and purging his
more common items. Or, it may be a must sell thing, we all have had our
backs against the wall and need to sell of stuff to pay the bills. I wish
him well and I hope that these items find themselves in the hands of a
person who will keep them in good shape.

And did that come with a mercury delay line frame buffer ? :)

Here's an oddball, too:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220676550260
42V, 50hz. Apparently, there were mains lines that delivered those
values to special plugs in Russian schools. How would one go about
powering such a device in the US?

I currently have only an LC II, and it is headed to recycle heaven. I
have the following MAC stuff that will go that way also, unless
someone really wants it. I can't guarantee that all the floppies are
readable.

Make me an offer I can't refuse.
