I just got back from San Francisco. An hour drive, but I picked up for free a Quadra 950! Not just any Quadra 950, but it's the "Publishing Configuration!" It has 128MBs of RAM on 8 16MB SIMMs, a MicroNet SCSI RAID built in (not sure how big the HDDs are), and a SuperMac DigitalFilm card. I believe it's a Thunder II GX with a video capture daughter card. Unfortunately no breakout cable, so I'll have to track one down.
I'm really excited, I've always wanted to play with a Quadra 950. Getting one for $20 in gas is pretty darn good.
I also got an old SCSI RAID tower with a few Micropolis drives in it. The power supply is rusted through, though. Not sure if it works. I hope to salvage the drives. Has a bunch of cool LEDs on it.
I had to get home in a hurry, but they also have a working Pismo in excellent condition that's also free. I looked it over and it seemed to be in pristine condition, even had the original power adapter (the one that catches fire.
) I didn't grab it because they still had to erase it and everything, and I was parked illegally. Didn't want a ticket. :/ PM me for their contact info and you can email them. I think the guy coordinating the machines will also ship if you pay for shipping.
