Nice score as well! There used to be a Volunteers of America in Galloway, OH that had a separate computer store in it. IT was like walking into heaven. They shut it down because not enough people bought stuff they said...
So on one of the last days I was able to buy 4 shopping carts worth of Apple II, and 68k, and early pm stuff for 20 bucks. Score that day. I tried to get them to also include the Amiga stuff they had but they said no... But I did get as well an Okidata Microline 82a printer new in box with the PC roms... Too bad I didn't remove the Apple roms from my very first 82a printer that died several years ago. But at least it's new in box and brings me back to the day when I was 12 and it was a PRINTER!!!
For anyone that cares, I did test out everything and it all worked believe it or not. That Zip eject mechanism on the usb powered version can almost propel the cart completely out of the unit.
The powerline units are 10mb ethernet to 14mbps powerline. - Max throughput on well optimized Windows tcpip stacks is about 5 mbps and stable. Not bad in my house. Which leads me to think. "Why the heck does my X10 signaling suck so badly, when this can do reliable 5mbps transfers?"
