Re: Your first A2.
I built a frankenstein Apple //e back in late '83, and I still have it.
Some day I'll clean it up and take pics of it.
Basically I bought a motherboard and keyboard for $200, and scrounged the
rest of the parts and put all the rest, drives included, into a hollowed out
Wang dual cassette drive cabinet. The keyboard was housed in a Wang keyboard
enclosure. At one time the keyboard enclosure had a clock/timer on it (based
on a Rockwell board that was given to me). Temperature probe inside the case
to monitor temps. All kinds of goodies inside, and ultimately a pair of 800k
3.5" AE drives too. All kinds of switches to control all kinds of functions.
Even pinball buttons on the side of the keyboard for them pinball games.
