: on the above quote about finding stuff out from AE i heard
: from an employee when it first went out of business AE
: litterally dug a large whole in the ground and buried all
: this docs/stuff etc..cards...so it could not be reverse
: engineered and they could sell remaining stock at their
: leisure

Would not surprise me at all. Really poor business
strategy though. They could have probably gotten
quite a bit for that stuff had they seen the end
coming and offered it before the Apple II went under.

: i also heard someplace in australia also called AE has
: rights to some of this stuff..by some wierd project
: swaping or whatever with usa AE back in the day
: and they have some engineering stuff

I'd love to know that the info is around somewhere.

: also the /shh place in germany that still makes the 32k
: cache boards for the transwarp gs has some engineeing
: specs

He's maybe got some, maybe not. Has his own for sure,
but other stuff I am not sure of and I have tried to
discuss it with him. I bought some IDE controllers
from him this year and built hard cards and sold them.

: not sure if any of this was true..but

That would certainly depend on whether the source
were Republican or Democrat. };-)

: would be nice if someone had this stuff someplace..former
: tech or whatever..but..never actually heard of anything like
: that

I tried to get the 2nd Sight VGA stuff, but the price got
too high and I think the winning bidder was a collector,
not a designer/builder.

: my 2c worth ..not that its prob worth that much..rumor wise

Hmmm, what's a 2c worth these days. I know,
you were saying $0.02, but that is funny.
