Hi,
Is there any demand for Mac IIci manuals and system disks? I may be able
to spread a few around. Also, hypercard manuals. Some still shrinkwrapped.
We have a pile of complete IIci systems that we don't know what to do
with, since they've been recently replaced by Quadras and translucent blue
towers. Any place that could make use of them and _not throw them away_?
We might donate a couple....

Is there a way to for the List to pick up these IIci's systems?
They are second powerful machines to IIfx in Mac II family.
And has L2 cache 32K (optional) and can do 128MB on board)
Weight is not that bad either, appox 14lbs and case is IIcx form
factor.

Again the problem of the ocean divide.
I'd love some IIci's for myself and for work. We got a couple of the blue
towers recently, but still use quite a lot of IIci's for emailing. It would
be great to get more of those out in the students' studios. It would take
some weight of off the computers in here. Anyway, I'm blabbering on. If it
is possible for you to send them to London, please do. Tell me what kind of
an expense it would be.
Thanks,
Nasos.

I'd be interested in a hypercard manual. I just bought the software here
in France with French manuals. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to
have english versions also. Let me know what that would cost.

I have no idea what it costs to ship, I would expect you to be more of an
expert. However, when I get more info, I will post to the list.

If they need to be donated as opposed to sold, Goodwill often has a decent
computer program.
IIci is still a fine little machine though.

I'm looking for a cheap IIci to replace the one that broke while I was
borrowing it from my brother. One time I turned it on and no chime,
no Mac icon, happy or unhappy, but the video appears to be squirting
at least sync out.
It could be a donation, except that I haven't completed the paperwork
to incorporate my museum yet :-( I'm stuck on a name. Most of the
good names have been taken and I've always been bad at names.
Any suggestions for a non-profit museum name for a group that focuses on
DEC equipment (PDP-8 through VAX), 70's micros (6502, etc.) and 68000
machines (Amiga, older Mac, oddball machines like the Perkin-Elmer UNIX
workstation, etc.)? (As a side note, I'm poorly equipped in the older Intel
and Zilog department - the only working Z-80 machine I have is a full-sized
Gorf arcade game).
Back to the subject: I'm interested in a bare IIci if the price is right.
Thanks.

We are probably a ways apart, but I have a Clay Champ that uses a Z-80 you
can have for the cost of shipping. Someone decided to put 110VAC to the
logic board ... and it complained :). IIRC, the parts are all standard TTL
except for the EPROM, and there is a "new" replacement EPROM with the unit.
Even should be a manual & Schematics!
Sold/traded off Destruction Derby a few weeks ago, Cheyenne is about to bite
the dust (I am trading off the board set and wiring for some neat old
computer stuff), and Space Zap is about to go on the market. I think I have
a buyer for a Star Trek conversion, and Pacific Novelties Thief is getting
close to the last game I am getting rid of.

How large? From where? What is it? (I don't recognize the name)

Ow! That's gotta hurt.

Were any of the numbers burned off?

That's makes a difference.
Once I have a ballpark of cost, I might say yes.

I'm in Santa Barbara, CA. The game is a two gun game where the object is a
skeet shoot. A photosensor in the gun detects the bright skeet when the
trigger is pulled. There is someone on RGVAC that delivers games (so I am
told) at a very reasonable price although it may take a while for him to get
it picked up and delivered.
