WTD: In UK - Apple //e, IIc or IIgs system.



I miss my Apples, still, and haven't had enough spare cash to ship a system from the US. If anyone has, in order of preference, a:

ROM 03 IIgs (ideally with HD, can't help thinking I gave Binary Dinosaurs my spare Cirtech SCSI :/)
ROM 01 IIgs
(either IIgs I'd need a monitor or cable for Philips CM8833 Mk II)
Apple //c
Apple //e Platinum (I've always wanted one of these from my AppleRetrospective days).
Apple //e

That they'd be prepared to swap for, again in order of preference, and where applicable, what I'd think would be a fair swap:

Acorn A5000 system with HD and monitor (anything, really)
Acorn A3000 system with HD (//c system with mouse and monitor but no external drive)
ARM 3 equipped Acorn A310 system with 4Mb (//e, //c)
Acorn A540 system, rare with floating point hardware, SCSI, ethernet. (IIgs with at least 2 3.5" drives, monitor and >1.25Mb RAM) Amiga 500 (not plus; would only consider it a fair swap for a basic IIgs without expansions, or a //e).
Colecovision with Donkey Kong (//e, //c)
Somewhat massive NES system with gun, big joystick, pads, loads of games, plus controller-less N64 with a game (bought to see if it worked; it does). (//c) BBC Master Compact (sadly in poor shape, but functional, mostly school marking letting it down)(//c)
Atari Jaguar
Atari 1040 STE, SM-124 monitor. With 4Mb RAM and Spectre GCR Mac emulator (the latter has ROMs and works perfectly, reads Mac disks directly in the ST drive and does sound emulation! Would want a ROM 03 IIgs with decent RAM for that, though). BBC B+ 128K with Z80 co-pro (well expanded //e, //c with external floppy etc.)
Amiga 600HD with display (//e, //c)
BBC B with hard disc unit

Generally the order doesn't reflect value, but how much I make use of something - the A5000 is the second most powerful Acorn I own, but I prefer using my A410 which you'll notice isn't on the list, because I've added a 5.25" drive!

I've got a possibly out of date hardware list at:
