Happy Happy Joy Joy! My ][europlus is now operational :)

[Sean McNamara <sean@macassist.com.au>]

No replies necessary, but boy, am I a happy chappy tonight! My recently 
acquired PSU-less ][europlus has just gotten its new (//e) PSU installed 
and it's firing up and operational - yippee!

Just wanted to share the joy - a europlus was the first computer we had 
at home in the early 80's, and since I got into the collecting scene 
about a year ago I've been lamenting the dearth of these beasts on the 
local market. I am trying to recreate my teenage experiences as much as 
possible, and the //e, IIgs, IIe LC card and emulators just weren't 
quite authentic enough - even with the fact I'd kept much of my software 
and have now bought much of what I hadn't kept. I'm sure many here will 
understand.

After harassing some europlus owners I found on the web, one of them 
sold me his PSU-less europlus, and I just received my eBay-won //e PSU 
(which wasn't guaranteed to work) - 5 minutes after getting to the 
machine, the PSU was installed and I was able to check it out (had 
already checked the machine was OK with my //e's power supply, but 
wanted something permanent).

Apple ][ (europlus) for ever!

Sean
