hmm, I was wondering how many were built too- not a great deal probably.
(I've got a 'III with two proFiles, seem to be lacking a lot of 
software to drive them though.). The fact that they take a minute or 
so to power up gets really annoying too ;)

not sure about worth money-wise, unless you've got one of the rare 
original machines... think mine's one of the later 1983 models.
As far as collecting goes though, they're a fine example of how
a potentially good product can be messed up in a big way. 

don't know if I've got all the documentation for mine. Got a proFile
'manual', the main Apple III user manual, and all the shipping
details. But the manual's pretty sketchy as to how to actually
*do* anything wih the machine- maybe apple released more technical
manuals seperately??

anyone out tthere got schematics for the 'III btw? Something I really
need as my 'III could decide to die at any moment...

(sorry for the lack of t's in places and extra everywhere else... 
someone's decided to spill coffee into this xterm... :)
