VERY informative book. Very nice breakdown of
the various
manufacturers broken further down by year and models. The prices
listed didn't stay relevant long, but it's a great source of
information. The classic computer hobby would benefit greatly from
something similar.
Another problem is where to get software. A $5 Apple II found at
local thrift shop
or newer computer often are found missing the critical software
need to boot. Printed DOC's and schematics for repair are gone.
With out this that sadly most good old computers just end in the
dumpster.
