Hi!!!

In 1994 did a visit a scrapyard, they did sold some things people had
left where, on the floor stood a Apple II Europlus, with 2 diskdrives,
parallel connection, a numreric keypad and a green mono monitor, they
should throw it away, cow it had no harddrive, I bought it for 50:- Sek
and took it all on my bicykle home right away. Still got it today. Can
be seen at a http://synthnet.atari.org/  a link there...

Regards
