NEC APCIII - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

26 Feb 1999

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.

I had similar problems with my pair of APCIII's.  Frustrated, and in
need of extra space, I threw them out, but I managed to save most
anything that wasn't permanently attached to the case.  I've got a
few of the memory boards that slid in the back as well as a few
parallel cards I think.  I also (think) that I have a few of those NLE
cards that plugged in the front.  The two that i had also had another
smaller (memory?) card that plugged in to a special slot at the front,
an external HD connector (and a HD.... SCSI?), and a special keyboard
with special buttons for graphic functions.  Not surprising since they
booted up with the DOS 2.11 version of AutoCAD.  I couldn't, for
the life of me, get them to run anything else!  If anyone needs any parts
let me know, I haven't got much use for them.
