Seems a local school recently unloaded its Apple// systems on Goodwill.
...kinda wondering if some of my old stuff is in there as it came from the
school I donated stuff to a while back...those microSCI floppy drives look
awfully familiar. =^)
Strangely I didn't see a whole lot of CPUs or monitors, only one
//e and three or four IIGS'. But there were piles of floppy drives (3.5
and Unidisk 5.25's mostly) extended 80 column cards, floppy controllers,
manuals, among others. Nothing really, really special though except for
what I'm about to note... =^)
I walked off with a Transwarp GS (woohoo!) actually had to buy the
whole CPU as I didn't want to leave the GS crippled as the card apparently
requires you to pull a chip off the board. It also had another strange
little board which I'll be asking about in a few days... Opened a //e to
see a Transwarp cart...yoink! the computer will still run without I'm sure
(it didn't require a chip swap on the mother board, did it?) ...now that I
think about it, I should've looked for ZipChips or similar. The box and
documentation only =^( for a High Speed SCSI card... if anyone finds the
card, I got dibs...same goes for a Applied Engineering GS RAM card, I have
the manual. =^) A cable for the LC PDS //e card. And a "Darth Vader" Bell
& Howell disk drive...I didn't see the CPU anywhere though.
Some items I left behind were about 2 RAMWorks cards and another
similar high capacity RAM card for the //e (can't remember the name) and a
//c external floppy (kinda wished I grabbed it now that I think about it)
Possibly a few other things but they evade my memory right now. I didn't
think to look for them at the time, but I don't think I saw any sheets of
Apple logo stickers (but I did see some unopened bags of things like
packing lists, warranty info, etc, so who knows.)
If anyone else wants manuals or small stuff (disk controllers,
etc) let me know, I can stop by next weekend. I'd be happy to pick up
some of the stuff for anyone, else they'll likely languish in the store.
I don't want to ship out CPUs, unless you can arrange to have a dump truck
full of cash pull up in the driveway. Maaaaybe I'll be willing to send
out disk drives, but I will not test them (same goes for the cards.)
I think they charged $1 each for books, and $2 for cards (though
they may have discounted a bit since I bought a pile of stuff, assume $5
per card to be safe) Drives were $5 I believe. The manuals were of
various types, older and newer //e manuals, IIGS, Super Serial, ProDOS
users guides, IW & IWII, DiskII, GS RAM expansion, etc, many still
shrinkwrapped (as they apparently came from a school computer lab where
they probably only opened one or two.)
Anyway, to the Hawaii folk, check the GW Surplus store in Kalihi.
