Looking to part with the following... mostly interested in trading (if you see something in my list contact me and we'll work something out), but if you spin me a good mac story, I might part with something for just shipping costs or less.... :)Here's what's available (each mac comes with a power cord-- the rest is up to you!)...
Three Mac Classics-- one works fine, one sometimes recognizes the HD and sometimes only wants a floppy, and I have another that only throws up a checkboard screen and never gives the startup chime. I put a floppy in this one and it eventually returned a "fuzzy" sad mac screen with a code that I didn't bother to investigate as I needed to get through my collection pretty quickly.
Three LC's-- One is an LC I-- the other two are II's. The motherboards are fine, but everything else was harvested from them-- even the fans and even the dead PRAM battery. The cases aren't broken, but they do need some cleanin'. They came to me somewhat scavenged and in various states of functioning. I used the workable innards in other computers that I have and to salvage an LCIII so these would be the foundation of a project at best.
One IIx-- I've never had this powered. It came to me with all sorts of NUBUS cards filling up every slot. Some of these cards may date back to "Reganomics" from the looks of them. I tried a few things to get this rig to work, but didn't spend a lot of time with it. Currently, I've pulled all the cards, but if you are interested, you could let me know and I'll try to describe them for you. Couldn't even tell you how much RAM this friend has. Could be a real adventure for some one. I'd be happy to thrown in the cards as well.
Two IIcx's-- Each of these has 5 megs of RAM and a 40 Meg HD. Both have dual ethernet cards in them. Both powered up just fine in concert with an apple 15" display for 256 delicious colors.
Speaking of an Apple 15" display. I have one of those up for grabs as well. It seems stable for being close to 10 years old, but the color is a little off....better to say the tint is off.
Finally, I have three Apple Design Keyboards....the ones that don't allow for a mouse to connect to them. No problems that I noticed with them, but I didn't give them a going over.
I may have some other stuff in the next couple of weeks, perhaps a printer or two...maybe another Mac. The wife and I are finally in a house and I know how much space I have to work with and which macs I want to focus on.
Please help me find these macs a good home! You can contact me here or at bobbyuggles@yahoo.com-- I live in Zip code 32601-- good ole gator town USA (Gainesville, FL). Fortunately, I am more of a basketball fan...the wife is the football fan. :)
