Ok, I've been sitting on this stuff for a while now, it was supposed
to go to someone in upstate New York, but I haven't heard from him for
a while. I need to get rid of it to make room, so if someone wants to
take it, it's free to go.
This stuff is in Montreal. Pictures in

First is a German Apple IIe, came with a family that immigrated to
Canada in the 80's. Has a serial card, a Microsoft Softcard (CP/M and
possibly 80-col), a printing buffer and floppy. Comes with 2 drives,
bunch of original Apple floppies, documentation (including two books
for the softcard) etc.
Also I have an unlabeled II, probably a plus, likely a clone, built
from kit it seems. All chips are labeled and socketed
(see picture) -
great care was taken to assemble this. With floppy card and two
drives. Also troubleshooting documentation, and some original manuals
for Ultima, Zork, and other games. Also comes with a green mono
monitor - that also has documentation which includes schematics. The
game connector is brought to the back to a DB-9, and there is a
homebrew joystick for it (made from an R/C stick and two pushbutton
switches in a hobby box).
Finally there is an unknown board, obviously a Apple II clone, but has
both a 6502 and Z80 on it. Strangely, no ROMs (except for char rom?)
but I have a unpopulated ROM card that may belong to it. Some
corrosion on the underside, it probably doesn't work anymore. Still
all chips are socketed, would be a good place to pull from. (The
other two are assumed to work, but haven't been switched on for many
years.)
I'd like to give all of this away as one big pile. There are also
boxes of floppies and other miscellany. Too large to ship, but can
fit into a car trunk easily.
Unrelated - but also free to good home - some old TRS-80 docs: Series
I Editor/Assembler, Level II Basic ref, Tiny Pascal User's manual,
"Getting started with TRS-80 Basic", "TRS-80 Graphics", VTOS 3.0
Operator's guide, and a "cheat sheet" for Scripsit. Could conceivably
be shipped.
