Just picked up a Mac II for $15, looks like 5MB of RAM or so, 68020 & 68881
FPU, two 800k floppies, an 80MB hard drive with three partitions, and an
ethernet card. I swapped out the old Mac II video card since it didn't work
with my monitor(64k Mac II video cards from Apple don't do very much) and
put my Radius Pivot monitor/card in it, and it works OK now. It's running
System 6, so I'll have to upgrade to at least 7.0(i think I have it on 800k
around here somewhere) or maybe network it and install 7.1... Also got two
"black boxes" for free, one is an automatic RS-232 switcher, and the other
appears to be a RAM buffer for RS-232. More info after I figure out exactly
what they are... Tonight is going to be busy(upgrading with spare parts I
have, looking for info, etc...)!
