Dave,
A friend of mine called me today and told me that he stopped at a garage
sale and that they had some kind of large Apple laptop computer for sale.
The owner claimed it was some sort of prototype and was asking $100 for it.
Do this sound like anything that you're interested in?

i've got just about every compact mac model made
except for a 128. while
selling some things at a radio rally today, i came across a guy who said he
had a complete working one for sale. turns out this guy even works in the
same
facility i do! here's what i got for $10

mac128 in its original box with manuals and system disks. also has keyboard
and mouse in their boxes also along with the purchase list and other
literature. machine is dirty and will have to be disassembled and cleaned.
one
thing he told me is that it has some sort of scsi
upgrade. the battery door
has been replaced with a db25 connector so im not sure if it has a genuine
128
board in there. nonetheless, i will keep it in its
current modified status
because the upgrade it's had is almost as "rare" as the machine itself. i
also
have a lead on another guy that has about 30 compact
macs in several designs:
512, plus,se and probably some more 128 models which i might also get. for
some reason, i couldnt sell all the plus and 512k models i had...
