Just for the sake of mentioning it, an IBM PCjr. > 5. Two LC I/II/III's > 6. Several 5.5 inch Apple disk drives. I have to ask: does the PCjr you salvaged have the infamous chiclet-style keyboard? Or the replacement model (the one that has keycaps resembing those of a traditional keyboard)? The PCjr keyboard and that of the Plus are interesting contrasts. The keyboard that came with the Plus was sold in an era in which consumers had high expectations for keyboards. The PCjr, OTOH, failed in part because the keyboard was, by and large, an exercise in cost-cutting (and Ghod, does it show!). (I don't suppose any of the Apple //s were //c's were they?) >Sadly, the Mac Plus is beat up (it has either coffee or oil caked onto >the case on the front), If you have the time and the tools, it might make a good project machine, anyway. I'm sorry to hear that the cosmetic condition is less than it could be, but still, a Plus w/keyboard is a pretty nice find.
