On a trip to new Mexico this weekend I also visited el Paso to say hello to a guy that literally had a container full of vintage mac stuff about two years ago. I scored back then great he literally just wanted the stuff gone but I could only fit so much in my corolla lol . Any way I was on the neighborhood and asked him if he still had stuff left , he did so I went scavenging again , couldn't get everything buy scored a ton of vintage mac books which I like collecting. Also an almost new boxed mac clone, a crescendo g3 card L2 type , and a Tech step diagnosing tool which was the most interesting find I think. Sadly it had only the hardware, no manuals or floppy. Anyone here familiar with these, perhaps you have the floppy images. Can the tool be used to diagnose component specific failures rather than using a scope? Anyway so glad I asked the guy and got a cool gizmo :) I just really hope one day he sells me his TAM he told me that was the one thing he wanted to hold onto.

There was some recent discussion about the Tech Step hardware and software at the mac68k.info site. Yeah, it's a diagnostic tool that can be connected externally and used to test / control the Mac.
