 How much would you want for the parts?  I'm trying
to get this computer
running for a school project (the computer belongs to my school)

I was just wondering --- Could I have an APC IV?  Three of the teachers that
have seen it have either called it an APC IV, or "The pain in the neck".
Some of the descriptions that I've seen don't sound like the computer I
have.  Although it does say "APCIII" on the front panel.

Well, prices for parts isn't something I'd worry about.  A box of 
cookies plus shipping wwould be fine with me....  as soon as I
find the stuff.  It would probably be better for you to tell me,
specifically, what it is you think you need.  As far as software
and documentation goes, I don't have any -the reason I was
forced to dump mine.  I tried (many ages ago) to decipher the
meaning/use of the dip switches at the back, but to no avail.
The problem with mine was that I tried putting a later version
of DOS on it, but the install pooped out, and since it ignored
the floppy on bootup, I was screwed.  Even tried swapping
HD's etc.   *NO* luck.  They (I had two) were VERY picky
machines.  Again, let me know what you need, I'll see if I still
have it laying around somewhere.
