i started a new job last week; one of my duties is going thru a
warehouse load (no joke) of older mac systems. everything from se30's to
older powerPC machines. question is this: since they all are being
scrapped and i cannot save them, anyone want me to pull some roms for
them? or any other useful components? let me know WHAT they are, and
WHERE they are, as I am not a mac tech. more than happy to see what i
can do for you people out there who want these.

Older PowerPC's? Ooh... can I have a 6100 (the CPU box that is)? Can
you get entire systems?
If not, I'd still love to get ROM SIMMs for an SE/30 and a IIsi. Also,
a IIsi Ethernet board, if you can find one. Any accelerator cards?
One last thing, how about an Orange Micro 386 or 486 board?
Thanks... <<<John>>>

Add another one -- I'd love MacIIfx SIMMS.

The 68K Macs didn't have much socketed on them. The ROMs are of course
useful if you want to run AMAX or some other emulator, _or_ if you have
an SE and need the FDHD (1.44Mb) upgrade. Floppy drives are worth
keeping, if that's even possible, most of the rest is undetachable. I
expect the hard disks (which are typically Apple branded in their ROMs)
have already been scavenged.
ROMs are 28 pin on SE's and such. As I said, not a lot was ever socketed,
not even the CPU. 68K processors aren't worth more than a couple of bucks.
A 68030 is worth less than $20, new, let alone pried off a board.

I would really like an Apple ROMmed CDROM drive for my Centris. :)

OTOH, a full 68040 (not the 68LC040 or whatever they called the coprocessorless
version) would be quite valuable to someone with one of the low-cost Performas
that only had the LC.

This is also a good opporunity for those of us who have Outbound portables
or similar Mac clones to get Mac ROMs for them (Apple never licensed any
of these clone makers to use the Mac ROMs...you had to pull the ROMs out
of your deskbound Mac to use the portables).

If you have the disk drive and 1.44 meg ROMS from an SE, that would be
nice... Got any 512 keyboards/mice/bootdisks?

Why can't you save them? I think most anybody would rather have a little
money for their junk than nothing at all?

I'll follow up on that. Why are they scrapping them all so soon?
Not even the SE/30 IIRC yet qualifies as a "classic" by our standards,
and I'd love to grab some PowerPC boxes to play with (help with
finishing the port to those platforms) Linux on. What's the company?
I'll email the CEO (more likely his secretary) if need be. Come on,
Eric, give us more detail -- oh, and which edge of the continent it's
on.

Bill Gates has this situation where the federal government wants him
convicted for attempting a monopoly. Has Bill considered responding
with a question as to why there's only one Justice Department?
