Not much of a "conquest" since it was from another member...

But traded Macdrone a bunch of my "iffy condition" stuff for a few "working" systems.  Got a working SE/30, IIci, and Quadra 950 in exchange for a few PowerBooks of not-perfect shape, an SE/30 logic board for him to recap, a Quadra 630, and, uh... something else? I don't remember what other Mac.

Plus an "IBM PC Power Edition".  (Yes, a PowerPC-equipped IBM desktop.  Not an RS/6000 workstation, but a meant-for-your-average-desktop desktop computer.  (Although the architecture is very similar to the RS/6000s of the same time, just with more standard PC parts like a standard floppy drive, IDE hard drive and CD-ROM drive, ISA network card, etc.)  (Sorry, I'm keeping my ThinkPad Power Edition.)

Macdrone sure has a nice garage!  Much more organized than my disaster of a basement, with its couple dozen systems that are nigh-inaccessible under the stairs behind a cabinet.

And yes, I think us Portland-area folks need a swap meet. I have a bunch of "surplus" stuff I need to clear out, and I'm more than happy to do a "multiple for one" deal.

What sorts of "surplus stuff" do you have?

I don't make it up there very often (I've only been there twice *in my entire life*), but if/when I do someday get there again, maybe we can work something out.

Meanwhile, would you consider shipping anything small-ish?

Of course you mean a G3 AIO Molar, right?

And in digging in to my storage space, I discovered I have ANOTHER SE/30! I thought I only had one…

It's dead, like the one I gave to Macdrone, but it's the one I had my Ethernet card in. So now I have a working SE/30 with 128 MB RAM and Ethernet.

As for what I have spare, I had a couple compact Macs (Plus to Classic,) a few Quadras, - bunch of Power Mac 7x00s (at least one of every model, 7100, 7200, 7500, 7600, and 7300.) A beige G3 tower and a desktop. Not sure what else.

Plenty of monitors. In fact, I just made a run to Free Geek to dispose of a couple dead ones.

I might be interested in one of the Quadras if you're willing to ship (costs all paid by myself of course) to here...
