The problem with that auction is there are no 800K floppy drives (which are hard to get
these days), all the cards are gone (you need to have a video card on that model), and you
are missing the HD. I would guess somebody wanted the guts and software but didn't
want to pay to ship the whole unit.
C: Why would you want 800k drives? The 1.44 mb superdrives read all the old formats. Video
cards aren't that uncommon (had a few, but somebody tossed a bunch of my stuff out).
SCSC h/d's are easy enough to find.
?Good to hear I'll be able to bring my old IIx and IIcx back to life. Just capacitors,
and big electrolytics I think too.
