Very lucky craigslist find, been looking for some beige for a while. Out of town visiting family and I decided to cruise CL and I stumbled across this kit, very reasonably priced. Bought it from the original owner, an ex-freelance graphic/web designer who used this as her workhorse up until 2001. She gave me free reign over the included software, licenses, and data. I'm going to archive the software as best I can for personal use, and nuke the data.
Overall, the bundle included:
- 7600/120, with original 1.2GB drive, no cards. 64MB RAM (2x16, 4x8), CD & FDD. it's running what I believe to be the original 7.5.3 install. Has to be nuked, the system folder is an absolute mess.
- - Installed software includes: photoshop, illustrator, quarkexpress, macromedia, bbedit, lots of little utilities and whatnot that will definitely be preserved. TONS of data. HDD is totally full.
- AppleVision 1710, thankfully not one of the impacted units. Seems to be working just fine. Beautiful screen.
- Apple Design Keyboard (Thailand), Kensington Turbo Mouse (missing ball), apple mouse pad (pretty cool, never owned one)
- external Zip100 drive, w/ original cables and software. About 30 zip100 disks, all with data (needing to be nuked...)
- Epson Stylus Pro printer. Looks to be in good shape, I'm curious to see if I can find any ink carts for it. Uses an interesting design.
- Some sort of flat bed scanner, not sure the model right off the top, pretty generic.
- ADB drawing tablet, no pen. Not sure the make, I don't think it's wacom.
And then lots of CDs, floppies, and zip disks. Software installers, demo stuff, data, etc. Has the original 7.5.3 install CD, disks for the AppleVision, CD for scanner, disks for printer. A few font disks.
Haven't gone through everything, using a trackball without the ball is an interesting challenging. Once I get it home and setup properly I'm going to pop my SCSI2SD in it and do a fresh install of 7.6.1. I also have two more 64MB sticks on the way.
Super cool to get a box like this from the original owner, with all the original work and software on it. I'll add more pictures once I get settled and generate a list of the software/media included in case anyone is interesting.
Also, I'll be looking for either a G3 or a faster 604 if anyone has anything on hand they're looking to sell.
EDIT - form photo uploader keeps spinning the photo, so IDK.
