I have an old Vax (Vaxstation 4000) sitting right here behind me - using my windows PC with a serial port as a terminal. That ADM would work fine with it.

It's been six weeks since he's been on...

I had one just like that... sent it off to a 68KMLAer who can chime in if they like. I did this with it:

Skydata SCSI CD burner came my way from Freecycle - actually, the person that previously gave me two Apple ][+ machines just emailed and asked if I wanted the burner, a scanner, and a ZIP drive - I just took the burner though as I already have the others.

Mostly because then I can use the same Firefox and Thunderbird on every system in the house, and only have to learn one OS!

It'll run Debian Linux really well.

Continued from the thread in Conquests: Well, looks like I have enough stuff here to make one really really really nice ][+ and one parts unit. Unit #2 doesn't power on properly - sometimes I get a screenful of random characters, sometimes about 6 vertical green/black bars. edit: I removed...

Damn, I'd be right on that one if Chicago weren't 18 hours drive away. Wait, my sister from Milwaukee is coming up for Christmas.... hmmmmmmmmm

Well, looks like I have enough stuff here to make one really really really nice ][+ and one parts unit. Unit #2 doesn't power on properly - sometimes I get a screenful of random characters, sometimes about 6 vertical green/black bars. edit: I removed the Suprterminal card; it has a little...

Well, checked out the first unit a bit. Haven't powered it yet, found the following: * one plastic keyboard retainer inside is broken - keyboard hangs into the case a little. Easy to fix. * following cards in it: - Orange 16k - ASI-1 serial port - Videx Ultraterm 80/160 column card -...

It's all here.... this is the most amazing pair of Apple II+ I've ever seen... immaculate condition, 2 drives each, and each one fully loaded with expansion cards, most of which I've never seen before. I know for sure I have a Z80 CPM card here, the other stuff will take some research to figure...

Now I found out I don't even need to pick it up... she works in my end of town and is supposed to DELIVER everything after lunch today (Saturday). Normally there's not much good on Freecycle (mostly worn out kids clothes and broken TVs) but I have had a lot of luck over a long period of time...

Picking up tonight or tomorrow: >> Two Apple II plus machines >> Each machine has two 5 1/4" floppy drives >> one has a joystick >> one has 3" floppy drive >> one monitor WHY do I volunteer to take on this stuff? At least I know at least a couple people I can...

Just not the way you think. I have had this Ext II for awhile (the One True Keyboard for the Macisti) but I found the "one" key (with the exclamation mark over it) didn't work. Tonight I took the KB apart, desoldered the "one" keyswitch from the board, took it to the garage, soaked it in WD40...
