I don't have a ton of room to set my systems up for display/usage so I don't
have a huge quantity of vintage computers but the systems that I have are
extremely complete, with all of those hard to find parts which make an
ordinary system into something unusual. In other words, if there was an OEM
or aftermarket part that was good to have (at the time) I have it.

Ah, the Pineapple was the first Apple II clone, and it was a beauty. It
reminds me of a Franklin 1000 -wide and sturdy. If I have my story correct,
these were built from kits which were shipped in individually from Taiwan.
They tried to send a container load but Apple caught a whiff of it and got a
court order to put a stop to that. I've seen one, and it was really a
beautiful computer, especially compared to some of those cheap Apple II
clones that came later on.

Hmmm, I just recently came across one for the first time (not for sale, it
was part of a collection I was appraising). How many games were actually
made for this thing?
Did it ever make it to market? If not, why?

I recall seeing one of these a few years ago in one of those CDW Direct
liquidation catalogs. They sold them first in the Far East, then "Marketed"
them here for a few months before pulling the plug. The catalog listed about
10 games if I remember correctly, and if they were in a liquidation catalog
those were probably the only games ever made. They seemed to me mostly older
PC game ports, Sim City is the only one I remember.

There are also a lot of the Apple M4120 Set Top boxes being sold on
eBay as the Pippin, or at least referencing Pippin documentation in the
description. The M4120 was actually the 2nd of the Set Top boxes and
released into a test run with British Telecom prior to Pippin.

I think at least 40 titles shipped for it in Japan. Just about any
Macintosh application could run on the Pippin if placed on a boot CD with
the appropriate system software.
Did it ever make it to market? If not, why?
Yes. Quite a few were sold in Japan. It was on the U.S. market for
hardly any time at all before Apple killed it. The version marketed in
Japan was platinum and called the "Bandai Pippin Atmark". The U.S.
version was black and labeled "Bandai Pippin @World". The American
version (and I presume the Japanese, too) came with a subscription to
Bandai's online service. Of course, that doesn't work any more.
The Pippin was a Macintosh PowerPC with 4 MB RAM. Ever try running a
Power Mac with 4 MB RAM?
It's got SCSI, though. The Playstation and WebTV can't boast that!

It was thus said that the Great Ernest once stated:
>I want an Apricot or a PCjr, myself. I have the original King's Quest, just
>need to play it on a PCjr so I can hear how the music sounded.
Not bad if I recall. The PCjr had three music channels (and a fourth for
white noise). I don't remember how the music went though.
Don't you love those prorietary programs. You do
know that there are
versions for other, easier to find systems.
But King's Quest was originally written for the PCjr. I also remember
there being a key you could hit (Alt-something?) that would slow down the
screen drawing so you could watch it being drawn. Quite cool.
-spc (Later games would draw offscreen and then switch)

Hey Cameron,
I've got an extra PCjr cpu unit I could send you.
