Sorry to be bidding against you LCGuy - mate I hate this sort of stuff. Don't think it's mine either, would have been something I'd fire up all the time to test my old machines. Seemed like the ultimate Mac diagnostic device for it's era!
Don't think it's worth much though if you can't use it on anything apart from early compact and early II-series machines though.

Don't worry about it. :) Sorry to hear that you seem to have lost too...I'm not a great fan of that sort of thing either, oh well. I would've bidded higher, just that $80+p&h is all I can really afford at this time.

Anyway, you may remember this Byrd, dunno if others will, but for a while (2001 -> 2002), i was freelancing at an AASP, who had a TechStep. They wouldn't sell it to me, but they were more than happy to let me borrow it for weekends and stuff. This was back in 2002. It was complete, had the bag, disks and everything, as well as several ROM packs. One was for testing SCSI HDDs, then there were assorted ROM packs for testing all the Compact Macs (apart from the CC and CCII), Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx, IIsi), IIvx/IIvi/Performa 600, LC, LCII, and I think PowerBook 100. Apparently, there were optional ROM packs available which could test the LCIII, Quadras, and 1xx series PowerBooks, as well as the Colour Classic and Colour Classic II, but I've never heard of them actually existing.

Moofo, yeah, I have used one, even had it hooked up to my machines, as I've just said, and its actually pretty cool, IMHO.

ATM its currently at $100.
