Alright, I am back, time to count my dead and wounded. I only got like half of what they had, but I can come back, and next year the school will be switching to windows machines, so there are labs of B&W G3s and eMacs I can take. Plus he mentioned a G5, but I dunno yet. He had a lab full of old macs, a CC with a back painted orange, a IIgs with a joystick for gaming, and a 6x00 with the side painted green. Anyways, here is what I got:

-Apple II with green color monitor and 2 floppy drives (original, non enhanced model)

-2x Apple IIgs Woz editions, no drives, and looks to have cards harvested.

-a Powerbook 3400c, unknown specs, and it refuses to boot off the CD and has 9.1 installed that keeps crashing. Immaculate condition with external battery charger and a second battery

-Wallstreet G3 with 500mhz upgrade (upgrade card has the box), no drives, but I think I can get it working.

-iBook G3 dead lobo, no airport, no RAM, and top is painted black. Original specs say 500mhz 192mb ram, 10gb CD, modem.

-2x newertech G3 upgrade cards, in box, for the PCI power macs, I think 500mhz each

-G3 AIO unknown specs.

-LC 550, unknown specs

-a bin of apple mice, some I, some II.

-Appledesign keyboards up the wazoo, more coming

-Color Stylewriter 2500, and 2400, pulled ink tanks from all the other ones.

-A gateway AMD athlon tower, unknown specs, and missing RAM.

-A tub of RAM

-a Acer box full of older hard drives. Largest one I found was a 20gb, but most are 1.6 apple firmwares, some smaller.

-Mac OS X 10.0.3 with binder

2 B&W G3s, part machines, ZIFS and RAM removed, one has the non ATI rage video card with S-video and composite imputs, one has a broken handle, both missing drive faceplates

-several boxes of cables, manuals, and other bits.

-an original Imagewriter for the II, and a couple laserwriter selects and personals

-A couple iBook keyboards with just the piece I need for mine

what was left behind:

-5 5260s, but I pulled mobos and HDs

-A 5500/120

-several more apple printers

-a HP laserjet III

-an LC 550

-tonnes of apple keyboards

-some IBM and dell monitors

phew. That was so worth the 33 minute drive, and I think I will go back next week for the rest.

Now to just get the 3400 to boot the CD drive...

-digital ;)
