Subject: Re: latest find...
That's an incredibly nice setup. It entails everything I had at the time
I sold my Aquarius to fund the purchase of my first Apple ][+.
I don't feel so bad now. Still not going to add up the total. Whoever runs
the thrift stores in Texas should move up here. :/
A lot of the stuff that Aquarius promised never came out. However, I did
just buy a modem off of eBay. And I missed (by a couple hundred dollars)
an incredible auction that include the ultra-mega-rare Aquarius disk drive
(3" mechanism) and 4-color printer. If I had more money I would have bid
more (it ended up being something like US$350). There are only two
Aquarius disk drives that I know to exist.
The modem would be neat to have. I wasn't sure if it had been released.
I'm missing the so-called printer cable, but I now believe it's merely a
three-conductor headphone cable. Can anyone confirm this?
I do have the even rarer Aquarius II, but I really want the disk drive
(and I know a certain someone on this list who has the 4-color printer ;)
