For The Faithful

[kris_tesseract@sexzilla.not (Kris Tesseract)]

I owned the Bell & Howell black Apple II serial number 643. My first program
was B-1 Bomber. On tape.

I sold Apple II's, //e's and //c's to Purdue University when they were The
Machines To Have.

For six years I was senior editor of The Road Apple. We weren't the smoothest,
but we were the orneriest. 

I was an invited speaker at AppleFest (when it meant Apples), and some of my
articles were copied and posted to bulletin boards inside Apple HQ. 

I wrote two master's theses on my GS in AW 3.0 , and I'm writing my PhD
dissertation on it now.

For the faithful: 

For the cost of shipping only I will send to the first respondents who promise
they'll use them, their choice:

IIgs ROM 1 main box, with 5.25 drive. Plus parallel card if you desire. 

Apple //e with 128 K/80 col., with serial and parallel cards if you wish.

Another //e as above, with the keytop to the "J" keytop missing. 

Both //e's will have disk drive controllers in slot 6.

All three will come with a parallel printer unless you request I don't send
it. All will come with at least one 5.25 drive, but you may hae to adapt a
newer daisy-chain 5.25 to an older controller on your own.

I can't test these all due to time constraints, but I'll replace anything that
doesn't work with something equivalent that does. All this equipment came from
a school that replaced it in mass, presumably still working at that time.

Things I'd like to trade for:

IIgs keyboard.

The Green Apple II book.

Boot disk(s) for a "fishbowl" style Mac Plus.

Help getting a Rodime 45 MB and/or an Ehman 35 MB external drive working with
either the Mac Plus or a //e Platinum.

A //c. (Will purchase.)

Trade is not required for the offer, but would be appreciated. What's more
important is that these machines, now just old enough to vote, not be allowed
to die.

Hey, it's big net. Somebody has to run it.
