Well, I had one bit of luck this morning. I was wondering if I had
my System 6 install floppies for the //gs at home, and it turns out
that I not only had them, BUT I had DOS and ProDOS 5.25" floppies as
well. The DOS 3.3 floppy is the one with ADT on it that I used years
ago. I also found a bunch of C-64 floppies as well.
Things kind of went down hill from there. I managed to dig out my
//gs with the SCSI adapter, and I even found the Syquest 44MB
cartridge for the drive (by accident, as it was seriously separated).
I need to go dig for a SCSI cable and terminator though. I've also
got at least one good 5.25" and 3.5" floppy (hopefully a second of
each).
On the downside, while I found 1 //c, and two //c monitors, I
couldn't find a single powersupply. Plus I should have at least one
or two //c's more that would be in better shape. I've a feeling that
I gave the //c's and PS's away (I know I gave one away). I'm really
bummed on this one, as I'd prefer to have a nice small //c running.
Also, I couldn't get back to the //e's (or //+ & other //gs for that
matter), nor could I get to the box with all the //gs, and most of my
// programing books.
Now I just have to find a place to set the system up, which means
cleaning up :^(
On a positive note, that totally blew me away, I found my X1541
cable, though I never got close to reaching any C-64's, or their
floppy drives. Still I managed to get the Amiga 500 where I can
reach it easier should I want to. I came really close to bringing it
home. I'm really shocked, it's been years since I've wanted to mess
with any of this stuff.
