I've already posted two threads about my large haul, and this is the last.
To recap: A guy I had bought some old hardware off before emailed me saying that he was finally going to clean out his storage unit, and wanted to know if I wanted anything. The first two threads detail my first two trips. Here is my third and last (he was filling up his cargo truck with the rest to take to a recycler; it wasn't all computer gear, he also had lots of automotive gear.)
First, the hardware: Not as much this time around, I had gotten most of the good stuff before. What was found was
Apple Scanner (that's right, not "OneScanner", just "Apple Scanner".
Three Apple II-era monitors, one IIe-style monochrome/green phosphor, one IIe Color Composite, and one that I'm not sure what system it goes to. It's the style of the early Macintosh II-era monitors, but has a composite port, not a DB-15. I thought the IIgs used DB-15, otherwise I would swear it was for the IIgs. It it styled roughly right for a IIc+, but I have the IIc+ companion color monitor, and it looks different.
Also got a few PC expansion cards of various types, a few joysticks (one PC, one Mac, and two Apple II,) and a micro PC desktop (486-era, has an AMD 586 upgrade chip, 32 MB RAM, 300-ish MB hard drive with Win95.)
Got a few large boxes of software, including a "Macintosh System and MacWrite-MacPaint Backup" disk. This goes with the old Macintosh accessory box! (No Guided Tour disk or tape still...) Plus a few hundred still sealed 5.25" disks. (They were in bulk plastic wrappers, no boxes, so I'm not sure yet what they are, single-sided, 360K, or 1.2 MB.)
Also got some manuals, including an old Apple II "Using AppleWorks" that goes with the disks I got the first time around, as well as some manuals from an SE and from a Performa.
It'll take me weeks to go through all this stuff.
Oh, and a shrink-wrapped copy of IBM PC-DOS 7 en español... heh.
