Ive found a guy locally who has a GS for sale, but
hasnt set a price. ( i
hate that) what does everything think it's worth?
details are sketchy, but here's what he said
its a woz version
They're supposed to be a dime a dozen, having said that, I've never seen
one :^) The real question is what level or ROMs, as a Woz, it could be
Level 00, 01, or 03. Level's 00 and 03 are something I've never seen
either as the 01's seem to be the most common.
coupla megs of memory. (exp card?)
Better have him define coupla megs. The bare minimum is 256k, which is
basically a fancy Apple //e. 1.25Mb seems fairly standard, and is what my
two have, I've found it limiting. 4Mb would be very good.
external cms hard drive (scsi?)
I think I paid $30 new for my SCSI card recently. I'm using a 40Mb Syquest
for a HD.
has a sound card. he says it's not the ensoniq
sound chip, but an adaptor
card.
Now this seems to be a plus, and something much sought after in //gs
circles. Still to my bad hearing the built in sound isn't that bad.
3.5 drive.
Bare minimum. Keep an eye out at Goodwill, and you'll be able to add a
5.25 and another 3.5 or 5.25 drive or two. I think the max is 4 drives.
The 5.25 enable you to run most standard Apple // stuff.
also has some books and sw.
This is ALWAYS a good thing, when I'm looking at a computer I'm always
willing to pay a little more than I think it's worth if it has the manuals
for the computer. Software with manuals included is even better.
what would be a decent price for this? he may be
interested in a basic 486 i
have to barter with.
Well, you don't mention if it's got a monitor, keyboard and mouse (I assume
it does). I've seen ones no where near this good where people are asking
$200-300. Personally I don't see it being worth that much. I'd say if you
don't have a use for the 486 it's probably a good trade, although I find my
old 486 makes a great server, but then it's far from basic.
IF it's as good as it sounds it might be, I'd probably value the system at
$100-150.
