I have to agree with Mike, and not merely because I'm a satisfied customer
of his :-) you can do a lot better on a IIci, even with a goodly loaded-out
amount of RAM. I bought a bare case for $1 and a IIsi for free, scavenged
the IIsi's 8MB of RAM and pulled another 4MB out of another dead system,
took the IIsi's case and FD, put them in the IIci, and voila. You don't get
deals better than this :-) but I've seen IIcis at Santee go for around $8
or so with maybe 8MB RAM, 40 or 80MB HD, FD, etc., and upgrading them is dirt
cheap. Many still had the 32K cache cards installed.
