Or way less... you should be able to pick up a Classic II or SE/30 for
$10-$25. I went whole-hog and bought a Color Classic today for $75. It has a
slot for my IIe card (my C2 and SE/30 don't) , and of course a SCSI hard
disk and 1.44 drive that the IIe card has access to. I'm going to AppleTalk
that to my IIgs just for the challenge.  The nice thing about the compact
Macs is... they're compact and integrated.

Whoa! You got ripped off! I got the TWGS in a ROM3, with a Vulcan hard disk
at the local dump's recycling area. $5!  Of course, I waste a lot of fime
looking for stuff like this, but that's part of the fun. Someone who's got
money but no time can get what they want on EBay.

It's worth what the top bidder will pay, at any given time. At the dump,
that TWGS was just a piece of junk stuck in another piece of junk... as far
as everyone else there was concerned. They were more interested in broken
lawnmowers. To each his own.
