Mac stuff for Apple II stuff - Swap comments?

["Tim Haynes" <trhaynes@yahoo.SPAMBGONE.com>]

Hey gang,

About 2 weeks ago, I traded a bunch of Macintosh stuff for a bunch of Apple
II stuff.  Here is what I traded and what I got - let me know any thoughts
that you have on whether I made a good trade or not.  I think I made a good
trade, but I'm biased towards Apple II and had almost no II stuff to speak
of (except a ROM01 IIgs with 3 megs of RAM and a 20 meg Vulcan drive).

Here is my Mac stuff that I got rid of:

- "Macintosh Plus 1MB", low density floppy, 1MB of RAM, good battery cover,
no keyboard/mouse/hard drive.  However, no front logo, either, which
probably means it is unusual or somewhat rare?
- "Macintosh Plus 1Mb", low density floppy, 1MB of RAM, keyboard, no mouse,
good battery cover, with an external Dynatek SCSI 20MB hard drive.

- "Macintosh Plus 1MB", low density floppy, 2.5MB of RAM, keyboard, mouse,
scotch tape on the battery cover.  Has expansion card for Radius external
8.5"x11" page layout monitor.  At bootup, the screen displays "Radius
Accelerator 16 Version 2.0" - I belive the Radius is an accelerator in
addition to an external monitor card.  Comes with an external HD - the
"Macintosh Hard Disk 20", which interfaces with the floppy port.  It
currently is showing as 10 megs in the Finder.  Comes with the Radius
monitor and drivers installed.

- "Macintosh SE FDHD", high density floppy, 4MB of RAM, 40MB hard drive with
"sticktion" issues (it's a 1988 Quantum "40S") that is currently recognized
with 10MBs... probably bad sectors.  Has an extended keyboard (that needs
cleaning) but no mouse.  System 7.0 insatlled.  Has the original box and
packing styrofoam.

- "Macintosh SE FDHD", high density floppy, 4MB of RAM, 20MB hard drive,
System 6.04 installed, vey good condition, with SuperMac video card and
drivers installed, and accompanying 21" monochrome monitor.  Very clear
display.

- "Macintosh Classic", high density floppy, 2MB of RAM, 35MB hard drive,
System 6.0.7 installed, keyboard and mouse, with original boxes/packing
styrofoam.  Extended keyboard and (non-Apple, 3 button) mouse.

- "Macintosh SE/30", high density floppy, 8MB of RAM, 35MB hard drive,
System 7.1, keyboard, mouse, external NEC SCSI CD-ROM drive (with special
drivers installed), Astane RJ45 ethernet card (with drivers and software all
configured - ready for use!).

- Personal LaserWriter laser printer.  Never tried it, but I bought it under
the understanding that it works.

- ImageWriter II - beige.

- Apple 800K external floppy drive, and a DataSystems 800k floppy drive.

- 2 phonenet connectors for localtalk networking.

- a few font disks, some original floppies (7 or 8, utilities and tours and
the like), and a keyboard box.


Here is the Apple II stuff that I got:

ROM03 IIgs with RamFast Revision D SCSI card, ComputerEyes GS card, 4MB
GS-RAM Plus card, 100MB external SCSI drive, RGB monitor on "the IIc+
monitor stand", 2 3.5" drives, 2 5.25" drives

ROM01 IIgs with SonicBlaster and 1MB Apple Memory Expansion card, 2 3.5"
drives.  RGB monitor.

ROM03 IIgs with 3.5" drive.  Missing the 65C816 and the socket for it, which
makes me think that the Transwarp GS listed below originally went with this
thing.  Apple Monochrome Monitor.

3 Apple IIc's with 9" mono monitors on stands and power supplies.

1 Apple IIc in fabric carrying case.

Apple IIe with Apple Monitor III, 2 5.25" drives, Grappler Pro card

Apple II+ with 2 5.25" drives.

Transwarp GS card with 32K cache but no connecting ribbon/dummy chip.  I
will have to build one of those myself, and have the necessary instructions
and part numbers already.

Tonnes of books and software!  Over 300 3.5" disks, a couple hundred 5.25"
disks, and a stack of books about about 5" tall.  This includes goodies such
as a mint condition Apple II AOL package, the Beagle Brothers "peeks and
pokes" poster, technical references (only a couple of Toolbox programming
ones - sniff... I want to do some IIgs development!), the GS/OS 5.04 box,
and other things.  I'm probably forgetting some stuff here... it's all down
in the basement.

I also got some non Apple stuff.  An IBM Display Writer system (pre IBM PC!)
and an IBM Portable Computer (all-in-one luggable with built-in CRT and
flip-down keyboard).

So, I think I got off with the better deal, since I acquired all of my Macs
at garage sales for a grand total of about $150CDN (around $80US).

Any thoughts on the haul?  The RAMFAST is AWESOME!  Way faster than that
Vulcan drive.

Thanks
