Hi Dick,
I'll mention again that http://www.lowendmac.com has a wealth of
information on these old models. Even their rating system seems quite sane
and unbiased. A little reading and you will be able to separate the good
from the drek.
Today I ran into a classic, a ii-lc or some such and
iii-si or something
like that. These latter are both those recent-looking low-profile
thingies. Do they have anything of interest in them?
Here is my off-the-cuff list of Old Macs To Look Out For:
Macintosh 128k (M0001)
Classic II
Color Classic, Color Classic II
SE/30
LC-III
IIci, IIcx, IIfx
Any Quadra, with the possible exception of the Quadra 605 (aka LC475) with
it's lack of FPU
The IIsi - with it's optional NuBus adapter w/ integrated 68882FPU this
machine will run Linux or NetBSD.
Any PowerBook
20th Anniversary Mac (right...)
I can't think of any more right now.
