no, not an original, but a Platinum IIe. After playing with one 3 years ago, and amassing a huge pile of accessories (5.25 and 3.5" floppy drives, external modem, printer card, apple branded serial cable, apple presents floppy, etc.), I figured it was time to get the actual machine. It should be here next week.

From the looks of the auction pic with the hood popped, it looks to have a Super Serial II card (dead giveaway - the 2 banks of dip switches in blue) in slot 1, and a disk controller card (the one with the 19 pin connecter, just the one I need) in slot 6.

so whatcha think? I might have to give it a bath when it gets here, the top cover looks to be a bit filthy. I'll take it all apart and wash the case, and maybe the motherboard.
