Big haul!
Wow, this is crazy - I've gotten more retro-computing stuff in the past week or two than in the past 6 months!
After spotting a Craigslist posting a few weeks ago, I finally met up with a very kind woman named Jessica. She used to run a small home-based printing and desktop publishing company, but has since retired, and no longer needed all the equipment she'd bought over the years. She and her husband Mark had to come down to Albuquerque (from Santa Fe) to do some shopping, so she offered to bring all her 'junk' down for me!
After unloading my car just now, I've now got:
I'm off to play with my new goodies - see ya round!

After unloading my car just now, I've now got:
- PowerMac 7200/90
- PowerMac 7200/120
- Macintosh Centris 610
- Two HUGE UMAX scsi scanners
- A large box of random cables, mice, scsi terminators, etc.
- A gorgeous 17" AppleVision AV monitor
- A couple of external scsi HDD's of indeterminate capacity
- A very sore lower back!
I'm off to play with my new goodies - see ya round!

Cool haul!
Thanks! I just noticed - I also got a set of (apparently unused!) setup disks for the Centris, as well as a IIcx, still in their super-cool cardboard "books."
Also, I spotted a Mac OS 7.6 Install CD - that's going to be handy...

Huxley, if you ever have time, would it be possible for you to image and upload those disks for the Centris? I know I for one would find them quite useful.
Sure, no sweat! What program would you suggest I use to create the images? It's been so long since I did anything like that pre-OSX, I'm drawing a blank...

By the way, one of the more interesting gadgets that came with this batch of goodies is an 8.5x11" Kurta IS/ONE graphics tablet. This thing is cool! It's fairly thick+heavy (much more so than a modern Wacom tablet), takes a standard AC cord in the back, and appears to connect to the Mac via a round serial port. However, I've not found any drivers for this thing in the materials I have (so far...) - do any of you have such a driver?
Thanks!

Thanks!

Disk Copy 4.2? Is that what people normally use for that type? iirc all you do is put the disk in, open Disk Copy and make an image... Maybe someone else agrees/has a better idea?
