I think this would qualify as Vintage / Compact since it is based upon the SE.
In doing my normal evening browse of eBay, I found this little gem :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=2794652910&category=4610
A pretty rare find indeed, I don't recall seeing one of these on eBay before (not really my cup of tea though being an SE/30 or later guy).
They show up at a rate of three or four per year, I'd estimate.
It is arguable whether this model is based on the SE or on the Plus. Outbound built them to take the ROMs from either Apple model and there's no standard keyboard connector, so you can't argue ADB vs. serial to resolve the SE vs. Plus question.
I have several of them (no, none for sale). Back in the early 90's I picked up seven of them from CompuAdd's Back Dock Sale and refurbished five of them and sold them, which netted me just enough money to make the last two free for me and my girlfriend.
If anyone has questions about these gems let me know. I probably know as much as anybody you can find these days. On the other hand, if someone could turn up contact information for Doug Swartz or Mike Duffy formerly of Outbound then we'd really have an expert available.
I'm taking a hellish semester of classes though, so replies are likely to be slow. This week is spring break, so I only have six hours a day of homework to do instead of twelve...so responses may be faster.
