Well, I feel a bit like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, but "I'm back..." I've been fighting a few demons, some still unsuccessfully, but I feel like I can devote more time to my beloved hobby now... The collection has grown a bit, and shrunk a bit :-), some given away, some sold, some gotten free, some purchased (are there any other ways? :-)). Some stuff will continue to leave over the next few months as I settle down a bit ... So, to keep on-topic, what have I gotten lately? - A SWEET Heathkit H89, with manuals, disks, etc. (Yes, I'll be contacting Tom off-list). This was bought from a man in Kansas, who was the original builder, and even included the original receipts! He kept great records, and passed it all on to me. Cool! Now I just need to find some blank 5.25" hard-sectored disks to make backups of what he sent me. - A couple of Motorola Single-board computers, 6802D5 and 6800D2 I believe - An Intel SDK-85 -- Needs work on the keypad, but OK otherwise - A Xerox 820 (CPU/Monitor, Keyboard, 5.25" floppy drives), with disks/manuals/spare parts. - An Apple IIe "upgraded" to a IIgs -- This is basically a IIe case, but with a ROM 01 IIgs motherboard, and a special back plate for the IIgs ports. Also replaces the IIe logos on the case with "IIgs" ... Very nice! - Various Apple II stuff -- CMS SCSI cards w/ manuals and disks, A "Quickie" hand scanner for the IIgs w/ manuals and disks, RAMfast SCSI card, Zip GSX accelerator for the IIgs, Syquest removeable 44MB drive for the IIgs (not Syquest drive, but uses Syquest 44MB media), High-Speed SCSI card, various software - PowerMac 8500 w/ 500MHz G3 (1MB cache) upgrade -- Yeah, not vintage, but a sweet deal! :-P Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble ...
