Color Classic (dead mobo), ][e, and dead 350MHz slotloader

I picked up all of these today. The Color Classic had a dead mobo. I put the mobo from the Performa 550 in it. It came in a carrying case.

The ][e came with the duodisk, color monitor, mouse, and a Gravis joystick. I got tons of accessories and programs with the ][e. There's some copys of games, along with a bunch of educational stuff, mostly for health class (what to eat mainly). The ][e is yellowed, as you would expect. The Apple logos on it, the monitor, and the duodisk are faded.

The iMac has no HDD or RAM. The PAV board is dead apparently. It's keyboard is currently hooked up to my Acer. No Del key though, so I can't ctrl+alt+del. :p

I also got an Imagewriter II with a new color ribbon and 6 sealed black ribbons. He said there's a pin missing from the printing part though.

Misc accessories include a couple modems (one 56k), an external 800k floppy drive, some misc floppies n the CC case, and that's about it. It was a somewhat long ride to get everything.

Yours doesn't have a DEL key? Every Pro Keyboard i've ever seen has one!
It's presumably one of those small ones that came with the G3 iMacs - didn't they lack a lot of the standard keys? You can still bring up Task Manager using Ctrl+Shift+Esc though - assuming it has Esc? (that shortcut works on NT versions of Windows; probably not 9x though I can't remember)

Yep, all Apple keyboards from the ADB II have esc. I'm thinking its probably one of those little iMac keyboards...shortly after i made that post i remembered that early slot load iMacs didn't come with Pro Keyboards :p

Yup, it's a blueberry keyboard, not a pro one. I wish it was a pro keyboard. :p

The Macster: Thanks, that works in XP. :)
