Apple II keep list

I've just got a load of boards etc from the bloke who runs the Apple
Retrospective website; I know there's CoPro boards/serial boards/80 column
cards/drive boards etc but haven't inventoried it all yet. That's a handy
list to have....

Machines in the same haul: ][+, ][ Europlus, ][c (US version with 3.5"
floppy), ][gs actually signed AND dedicated by Woz, a pair of ///s, boxed
RANA external floppy, external floppy ///, ICE HD unit, ProFile and more
books/floppies/original software/cards than I've been able to count yet.
Imagine my horror when I was hit by another car bringing it all home! It all
survived though, except the keyboard on one of the ///s, but it's repairable
I hope.

Pix on the museum site at www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk if anyone's interested,
plus some Lisa bumf since I'm not obsessed with that machine at all, oh no.
:o)
