Hrm, 68kmla seems to be down right now, so I'm posting it here mostly just to have it posted SOMEWHERE so I don't lose it. (68kmla went down while I was typing this, so when I hit "Preview", I got a really long delay, then a MySQL error. Thankfully, when I hit "Back", my text was still in the entry box. But, better safe than sorry, I'll post it here as a 'backup'.)
Alright, got a few oddball pieces that either I forgot before, or aren't really Mac stuff.
Apple Monitor //c: Yup, the little monochrome green-scale monitor that matches the //c. Complete with stand. Will not be cheap to ship! (Rough guess $40.) Works great.
Broken Apple 3.5 Drive: Yup, an Apple 3.5 drive (800k external with Mac SE-styling,) with a broken drive mechanism inside.
Some PowerBook batteries that don't hold a charge: One 1400 battery, three 5300/190 batteries. One of the 5300/190 batteries does hold about ten seconds worth of charge, the rest either claim to have a charge, but don't power the system for any length of time at all; or else they aren't even recognized by the system.
Tyan S1832D dual slot-1 motherboard with dual Pentium !!! 600 Processors - nonfunctional: Not sure what's wrong. Could be the board, could be one or both procs. Doesn't power up. This is a dual socket motherboard with Intel 440BX chipset, four PC-100 DIMM sockets, one AGP, five PCI, and two ISA slots, standard two channels of ATA-33, one dual-floppy channel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, two USB, two serial, one parallel. This board is, in theory, capable of running any Pentium II, and the 100 MHz bus "Katmai" (512k cache,) Pentium !!! processors. It has it's maximum supported procs in it right now.
Two Macintosh Advantage Information Kits: These requires detail. Back when Apple still had the "Evangelist" program, you could order a box of these kits. Each box contains a bunch of packets that you were supposed to mail to local retailers, businesses, schools, etc. The packet has lots of material extolling the virtues of the Mac. Each packet contains: (click for a scan)
Three Go figure. small foldout ads. Contains a bunch of statistics and quotes. (Forgive the artsy-fartsy scan...)
One Mac OS 8 Demo Tour CD.
One 1997 Apple MacAdvocate CD-ROM. "Runs on Macs and Windows PCs (no that's not a misprint)." (Their quote.) Contains a bunch of advertising, including a .mov of the original 1984 ad.
Two MacAdvocate II CDs. Newer of the above.
Dear Mac Enthusiast letter.
Apple and NeXT flier, dated January 1997. Contains the hilarious lines "Our goal is to ensure that when Rhapsody is ready for general customer release (slated for mid-1998)..." and "Initially, Rhapsody should support all currently shipping PowerPC processor-based Macintosh systems, from Performa computers through PowerBook and Power Macintosh models." (snicker.)
Plus a bunch of sales pitch booklets of varying production quality and target audience.
I can ship them either as-intended, by printing an address label and sticking it to the provided mylar envelope, or, if you prefer the envelope to remain un-marred, I can put it inside a standard shipping 'document' envelope. Shipping would be $6 in the U.S., between $12 and $20 international.
