oh i almost forgot..just in case you think my last post was full of
it...read down the auction and
you will see the quote below in the sale
start quote:
The x-ray system includes a pulse processor and apple II computer for energy
dispersive spectroscopy. All manuals are included for this system.
end quote
But it also says that the Apple II is used with the X-ray system, which
is not part of the auction.
now....someone may want to contact the seller of the electron microscope and
see just what kinda apple //e
it is? it sounds alot like my dapple system and if it is loaded and such
like mine was with lots of neato cards and stuff
manuals etc....with proslot cards and red shit cards accel cards...scsi
card...video overlay card i think? etc
pay $400 for the works ...and viola...the ultimate apple //
collectable...(or close...the mark twain or orig apple 1 in the box would
prob still beat it..but...thats another ebay quest)
be tough to beat that as an apple collectable and you would have the added
advantage of being more
secure of your status as "neighborhood wierdo"....
(the world keeps getting more and more wierd....now...fall out
shelter...hmm......biological protection suit...
air filter system...fuzzy dice...etc)

There are many different types of electron microscopes. There were no
"standard" microscope interfaces, and many of them were customized in
some way. It would be *extremely* unlikely to find one that just
happened to have the interface for which your software was designed.
FWIW, Apple II's were a common controller for many lab instruments,
though PCs are now the preferred controller. Until the mid-1980s,
the peripheral variety of the Apple II gave it a distinct advantage.
