  and floppy that I hope to migrate to one of my
machines so I 
 may need that
 parallel cable  I already gave Dave Greelesh the keyboard and 
 mouse for his
 Lisa.  I did get alot of software for it that I haven't tried 
 yet and maybe
 an extra i/o board, lemme check... 
That would be great if you've got it.  The rest of the Mac XL is still
setting around.  (Honestly, though, I wish it were a Lisa rather than an XL.
:)

As for the parallel cable, I don't know how the internal drive cable was
wired up (:/) but I know that you can plug a straight-through parallel cable
(like the macintosh "scsi" cable) into the back, and connect a profile hard
disk that way.

...
   Software and
everything.  I managed to get the SVR3.0   development kit
  working with the R3.5 OS that I've got. 
It's pretty   functional at this
 > point. 
...
  They are cool!.  I've been playing around with it
and having 
 alota fun.
 Its got the developer package installed (among others) and 
 some funky phone
 demon running but is a real nice environment with C and 
 Curses.  Enough to
 make me happy. 
The funky phone daemon is pretty cool.  I used to leave the UnixPC on and
connected to the telephone just so I could use it to put people on hold ;)

...
  That's great!  I akso found two 3b2's (a 400
and a 1000-80m) 
 and a AT&T
 terminal a while back too but haven't tried them yet. 
I have a 3b2, myself, but it doesn't power on yet.  Just sort of sets there.
No idea what's wrong.

He still has the sign on it, I think...
