Anybody have one of these things?
Ive had three (last two got donated without me knowing), just got one.
Looking for stuff for it, I know there are alot of computer people on here....
Anybody?
This was before the Mac 128k Andy.
We're talking like the end of the Apple II series.
I traded almost 300 dollars of computer junk for my Apple IIgs stuff, i'm just trying to get a break on some other stuff.
I guarantee much of what I need is in a landfill somewhere, its ridiculous to think that some rare part is getting crushed beneath three tons of old banana peels.
Heh, I just got rid of a IIe and associated stuff (some floppys, a floppy drive, a monitor, an ancient inkjet printer) a year and a half ago.
Do they have anything like the Weird Stuff Warehouse where you are? Or maybe a Computer History Museum?
--DD
All of the cool tech stuff is in CA.
The IIgs was my family's first computer & lasted well into the nineties, but went the way of the Wooley Mammoth when the chain of floppy disc readers forgot how to "Daisy". (a little inside geek humor)
I was looking at the new Apple II but bought this new cell phone instead

Sorry, I have not played with an Apple II since, well, 1988 I think. Once I moved to Blastem'ore, all the schools had Apple Macs.

I remember playing an early Mad Max style post-apocalyptic role playing game on my bud's Apple II "Go Slow". Wish I could remember the name of it.
I had a IIe with the Duodisk and an Imagewriter dot matrix printer. My cousin got the IIgs. That was about the time the fore runner of the Mac flopped. Anyone remember the Lisa. My school used Trash 80's model 4 and I have been using PC's since late eightes early 90's
I loved my old Mac stuff, which is why I HATE APPLE!!!! If Wozniak and Jobs had licensed the original Mac operating system, we'd never have heard of windows. But, nooooooooooo
My good friend has a up and running IIGS with some pretty clever games and audio stuff.
I've got a Mac IIci, a IIcx, a PowerMac7500, and a Performa. The old cx was a killer machine. We had a Rodime 80mb hard drive put in it when we got it, whooooeeee that was some storage! POS stopped booting up after only 16 years! It was a killer machine, but once windows came along it got harder and harder to use a Mac for business. I miss the simplicity of those old Macs. Virus? What's that???
Still have my commodore 64 with 20 lb floppy drive. Anyone interested????

I foudn a TREASURE CHEST of Apple II stuff.
I'm set for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have around six or seven macs and around the same amount of PCs.
I'm gearing up to make a server, then hearing up to make a cluster made from IBM Thinkpad laptops (166Mhzx4 of raw processing power ) MUAHAHA
I have a apple 660AV (S-video in early-90s), 6116CD (with G3), a 3400c (at parents house), 3 2400c's, 1 1400cs (with G3/400), a G3 tower and a G4 tower.
I believe the last good OS was 7.6.1 for current age, since there are wireless drivers that work with 7.6.1
Anyway, my secret longing for the Apple IIgs is what prompted me to get another Apple IIgs, this one will have an ethernet card and will also have a CF hard drive card.
I enjoy *OLD* Apple/Macintosh hardware. Opening up an old Macintosh (or apple) reveals a COMPLETLY different mindset--which I enjoy. I collect older computers and use them to thier fullest extent. Unfortunately, the local schools all have outed Macs and currently run PCs. I used to be an admin for the Apple IIe's and Macintosh LC 575s running At Ease. BTW, I figured out a way to get around At Ease, by launching a game called "Crosscountry USA" then selecting At Ease and launching ClarisWorks....I could get into the finder without the password.
Anyway, those days were great--and best of all I was in 4th grade!
I'm beginning to enjoy aircooled cars as much as I enjoy computers--but I've been messing with computers ever since I've been in school.
