Re: What's in your Apple?




Hi,

My platinum IIe and IIc+ (other than the addition of a 1mb Apple IIc ramcard, a mouse and a IIc flat panel display painted platinum on the IIc+ - to give me portability) don't have anything special hooked to them but my IIc and IIgs are loaded.

My ROM 03 IIc has an 8mHz ZipChip, a 1mb Ram IIc memory card w/ a RamDisk, a digital Video 7 box (giving me 16 colours on a digital RGB monitor), the SmartPort goes out to a CT100c Sequential Systems Chinook 100mb hard drive (partitioned to 4 - 25mb partitions / a mouseable menu using A2 Desktop v1.1 and loaded with Appleworks 4 and 5.1, PublishIt! 4, CopyIIPlus v9.1, MultiScribe 2, ProTerm 3.1, DiskMaster 8, TutorTech, a ton more 8 bit programs) and out to 2 - UniDisk 3.5" drives and an external 5.25" Drive IIc, a 56k v92 external modem and a Canon inkjet printer via a GrannySmith IIc-to-parallel printer connector cable and a mouse and joystick via a switch. SlotScan reports only 1 free slot left in my IIc.

My ROM 03 GS has a GSRam III card with 8mb ram, a Fingerprint GSi card in Slot 1, a SoundBlaster card in Slot 2, a Focus card (w/ 1 gb hd with a Prodos boot partition and HFS partitions so I can move it over to my other GS's when needed) in Slot 3, a TransWarp GS card running at 16mHz (w/64 oscillator) in Slot 4, a SuperDrive card in slot 5 going to 2 - 1.44mb SuperDrives, a RamFAST 1mb Rev. D SCSI card (for my Zip and Jazz drives and a 2 gb external SCSI hard drive (formatted HFS) attached - in Slot 6 (Slot 6 also has 2 - 5.25" floppy drives switchable via Control panel when needed) and a 100mb Vulcan Gold hard drive (partitioned to 4 - 25mb ProDOS partitions) in Slot 7, the RGB video goes out to a homemade VGA adapter running to an NEC MultiSync VGA monitor (capable of syncing down to 15.75kHz), a 56k v92 external modem, a Canon inkjet printer running through an OrangeMicro serial-to-parallel printer connection cable and an AppleTalk cable connection to my Mac Classic II to give me further connectibility. I use a Kensington SystemSaver and internal mounted fans to keep the whole thing from doing a meltdown on me.

My Mac Classic II is nothing special except as a companion to my GS when needed.
