Agreed 100%, to both. I for one have no objection to locals cherry-picking the haul - it's only fair - but I'll gladly pay shipping for a IIgs rather than see it get scrapped. And if you're not 100% sure of having room for everything, share the info with other members local to the area - send...

If all those IIgses go in the trash because no one local would buy them and send me one, I think I'll cry. :'(

Another option would be to set up a network share on the intermediary with an Automator routine to print whatever ends up there, then set up a print-to-PDF driver on the eMac. I saw that done in reverse once to print to an old ImageBanger from an iOS device using AirPrint.

Anyone else in the area want to do logistics for another bulk-buy? I'd totally be in for one of the IIgs systems.

The IIgses and the IIes have good resale value, so any of those you can get will likely be worth it. (I need to find something like that around here!)

The LCs did use the older 68020 processor. The difference between the 68020 and 68030 was something like Intel's "tick-tock" cycle: the 68020 was a major architectural refresh, the 68030 was a process optimization allowing higher speeds. But the 68020 was a decent processor. The real problem...

Yes, it has the ROM SIMM. Were there any NuBus video cards that supported multisync monitors and/or didn't require sync-on-green?

Go buy a couple new PRAM batteries for it, plug it in, turn it on. Only time the Chimes of Doom are a good sign! I mean, it's not a comprehensive test, but it gives me some idea.

Sweet haul!

I have a IIfx in my possession; I've had it long enough that I'm not sure exactly where it came from. I just took a peek inside to check for battery or capacitor leakage, and I saw no signs of either. (And yes, I pulled the batteries - ancient, ancient Tadirans, but still perfectly intact.)...

Some cosmetic scuffing and sticky... something, but no actual damage from what I can see. (Though the display clutches are somewhat messed-up, so it doesn't want to close straight; the images don't show this well.) The feet overtop of the bottom-case screws are missing, probably from when the...

How much work is involved in replacing the ROM SIMM with a 32-bit-clean version?

I downloaded some stuff from Macintosh Repository a few days ago using Safari. So it worked for me...

Aren't you actually supposed to take a discharge tool (or a screwdriver with an electrical lead attached to it) and discharge the CRT before you start working on it or the analogue board?

Given that the PDQs shipped with 8.1, my guess is that a vanilla 8.1 install might not have the drivers to support booting them. Do you have access to an 8.5/8.6 or 9.1 installer? If you can install one of those onto your PDQ, it should be able to boot from that, and a PDQ can run either of...

TL;DR version: I liberated an iBook G4, in good working order and even with AirPort! For free! So I used to be active back in the earliest days of the 68kMLA, but then I had to move in an emergency and give up my collection. I've managed to acquire a few bits and pieces over time, but I've...
