The Northstar Advantage I purchased arrived today. Fired it up, booted
into Graphic CP/M 2.2. Everything seems to work peachy!
Don Maslin, the boot disk you sent me was for a single floppy drive plus
HD system. Would you like me to send you a copy of the Dual Floppy boot
disk I made?

While not as exotic as other machines noted here today I found an Apple
][GS at a Goodwill store here in Oregon.
It included:
4 MByte RAM card
Sider Hard drive (Haven't determined capacity)
GSOS on hard drive
Imagewriter ][
3.5 inch floppy
5.25 inch floppy
Apple ][GS Color monitor
They listed it as $60 but I offered $40 and they took it.
I don't think that was too bad as I remember the RAM card could be found
by itself for about $80-$100.
Cheers,
George

Please tell me you didn't get this at the Beaverton GW! I've never seen
anything this good there. Actually this looks like it must have come from
the Tigard one as they're the only ones I know of that trash the system and
sell them in pieces, they're the only GW I've ever gotten a complete system
from!
That RAM card has GOT to be nice!!! Since it's as decked out as it is,
have you checked to see if it's got an accelerated CPU?

Nope... It was the Hillsboro GW (surprise!)
It actually the first Apple ][GS that I've seen at Goodwill.

That is a surprise, I've found them to be the worst in this area! I
haven't even bothered to visit them in months.
