Now I'm not an expert on these, indeed I know
nothing at all about apples,
but these look pretty weird to me - are they actually what they say they
are, and really common? eBay item 5219329581 (expensive as usual, so no
bids) for three linotype boxes, one of which has a disc drive with an apple
logo on it. (Listing has some larger pics linked from it).
I don't think they are Apple's. Linotype made printing presses didn't
they (still do?). Could these be interfaces for said printing presses.
Early DTP type stuff. Maybe one was specifically retrofitted with an
Apple Disk II drive for loading Apple files onto the press system.
