Apple II keep list - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

13 Jul 2000

I've just got a load of boards etc from the bloke who runs the Apple
Retrospective website; I know there's CoPro boards/serial boards/80 column
cards/drive boards etc but haven't inventoried it all yet. That's a handy
list to have....

Machines in the same haul: ][+, ][ Europlus, ][c (US version with 3.5"
floppy), ][gs actually signed AND dedicated by Woz, a pair of ///s, boxed
RANA external floppy, external floppy ///, ICE HD unit, ProFile and more
books/floppies/original software/cards than I've been able to count yet.
Imagine my horror when I was hit by another car bringing it all home! It all
survived though, except the keyboard on one of the ///s, but it's repairable
I hope.

Pix on the museum site at www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk if anyone's interested,
plus some Lisa bumf since I'm not obsessed with that machine at all, oh no.
:o)

 I have printed off your list and will carry it with me in the 
 van on my
 hunting trips.

  Mikes generalized Apple II keep list, kindly
correct me for dumb  stuff.

 Systems
 They have to be pretty nice looking, systems with school ID engraved  an
  inch high on the front are not desirable.
 Apple II, the orginal machine
 Apple II+, still not too common
 Not the IIe, sorry parts only, too many of them.
 IIgs, not rare, but people still actively use them more   than any other
 II.
  Look for Woz editions and rom 3.
 IIc, cute and complete systems with monitor still sell for   $35 or so.
  IIc+, more powerfull than the IIc, but in some
ways less collectible  (no
  idea why), still $45 for a complete system is
fairly common.

 Drives (mostly I mean external)
 Any external hard drive, or even case.
 DuoDisk floppy drives (two drives in a box) with cable.
 Unidisk floppy drives
 White IIc drives
 400k floppy drives
 1.44 MB floppy drives

 Keyboards
 A9M0330 is the IIgs original keyboard, and VERY popular   because it is
 the
  smallest mac keyboard (and its the original.
 Any mac keyboard, I even pile broken ones in a box for parts. This  comes
  from actually paying $169 for one once.

 Mice
 Early DB9 mice, M0100 with the black ball retaining ring is the  original.
  All the mice too.

 Misc
 IIc LCD display
 IIc 9" green monitor AND matching stand.
 Kensington system saver fans.

 Cards and other innerds
 Accelerator boards, Applied Engineering Transwarp about the most  desired.
  Fast SCSI cards, much faster, only card that
supports   removable media.
  Apple Rev C SCSI cards, but much less so than
Fast SCSI.
 Workstation cards
 Vulcan hard drive inside power supply
 Focus IDE drive on a card
 Anything curious
 I/O controller cards (for later floppy drives)
 Mouse cards for IIe
