I have an old Apple II+ (my very first computer) in storage....

[Lord Apollyon <i-liquify-spammers-nightly-Aug2000@paypc.com>]

Apple II+ 48K (with a 16K "language" card bringing it to 64K), Apple Cat 
// modem (without the Bell 212 1200 baud daughterboard), Mockingboard C, 
Timemaster II HO, and the Applied Engineering 80-col card - just a 
standard Apple Disk ][ and a Rana Elite 1 floppys [with the standard 
Amdek "Colour Monitor" that was often sold with these].

It's been about five years since I've switched it on - (it and all my 
floppies have been stored in floppy cases in a very temperature 
moderated environment, namely, my parents' house [they seem to have kept 
my bedroom like a shrine or something].

I last booted it up back in 1995 or so.  Worked fine.  But I imagine 
there are probably some precautions I should take before I do that again.

Any pointers to FAQs/etc, or advice... would be most welcome.  It's in 
mint shape (I'm sure the clock-card's lithium cell is dead of course - I 
wonder if it's Y2k tho! :) )

Anyhow... I'm not after selling it - rather, I'm collecting together all 
of my old hardware that I learned how to code/hack apart from when I was 
a kid.... I've located pristine TRS80 Model 1's, and I still have my 
Commodore Amiga A500, Atari 800 (with RAM cartridges, but no floppy 
drives), Apple II.  Next on my list are the VAX and PDP/11. :)  I intend 
to make a "living museum" sorta in my house for all of this gear.

Thanks for any advice,
