Various Accelerators

[Charlie Springer <RAM@regnirps.com>]

Well, I tested accelerators this morning, at least the ones I could find. 
Some people have emailed and I figure first come first served. However no one 
made an offer, just asked how much I wanted. Since I don't want to bother 
with the whole eBay thing, I wonder if you all could help with a little 
consensus on value?

A)  MCT SpeedDemon: Works fine. No docs.

B)  AE Transwarp: Works fine. Boots from floppy and I had an CFA card in and 
it booted Kyan KIX off that with no problem.

C)  Titan - unknown. Does some stuff and then pretty flashing squares. 
labeled Dapple Systems, an outfit that was always speed crazy and which I did 
some work for making floating point accelerators. The sold systems for 
scanning electron microscopes. Curio/Relic?

D)  Stellation Mill 68008 card. Lost the disks and docs.

E)  Rocket Chip 5MHz Seams dead. flashing squares. Curio/Relic?

F)  Zip Chop Model 8000. Great. The beep is nearly ultrasonic. These are a 
kick in the ass. Work with everything I ever owned. Original box, disk, docs.

G)  Or, the Zip 8 inside a //e with 1meg Apple RAM card, 3 1/2 controler, 5 
1/4 controler, 80 col, new platinum keyboard (I have a case of NIB 
keyboards). Some yellowing of case. Super clean inside - like new.

What do you think? I will post the same thing on the A// Marketplace and 
sys.apple2 lists.

I have apile of other cards, but no accelerators. A couple of types of 
networking stuff including a couple of Apple cards with a cable to a pair of 
AppleTalk looking connectors and a setup for the GS with a master and a bunch 
of slaves meant for school computer labs.

Also some Grappler and Grappler+ cards and Redshift 256 level gray scale 
frame grabbers that give your Apple 256 level pixels. Oh, and lots more.

I'm selling Jef Raskin's Apple //e from Information Appliance with the 
patented wood palm rest and with his Swyft Card installed and wood leap keys 
and space bar with a Station II monitor holder that covers the open case 
since he threw the case top away as a bother to switching cards.

I may go eBay on this one since there are some Japanese collectors who have 
wanted it in the past.
