Well, after a few years of reading about people finding cool things in the
trash (and even finding a II+ myself once) I am happy to announce another
IIgs treasure recued!
I had a carload of old PC parts that I brought to the nearby (30min drive
away in Scarborough) computer recycling centre. Usually there is not much
there. The day I arrived, there was quite a bit of stuff. Laying down my
first piece of scrap, a buried Woz limited edition IIgs caught my eye. I
grabbed it, it's associated hard drive (oooh... the implications of that
drive excited me) and threw it in the car.
I got it home and opened it up. Smiling up at me was an Apple High Speed
SCSI card and a half-populated GS Sauce ramcard (2 megs populated). I
hooked up the drive and powered up - it worked great!
Finally, a IIgs treasure find of my own. I already have a RamFAST, but the
Apple HS SCSI is nice to have. :-) And for Apple fans in the Greater
Toronto Area - take heart, you can find something cool, too!
Cheers
Tim
