BNIB Classic II and 5200 LC

Drived 80 mils to streamwood to get a classic II bnib and a 5200 LC

Wow, awesome score.

Yeah, the LC ended up being a bit of a waste. Floppy drive is bad and it turns out the 5200 series was all slow as hell because of a bad motherboard architecture. Classic II is great though I love it. its all up for sale though.

A NIB 5200 would be worth upgrading to a 5400 or (better still) a 5500. Nice machines. The 5200 was indeed crap — I should know, I had one years ago.

The upgrade is just a logic board swap, isn't it?

the 5200 wasnt new jus the classic ii. I am using the 5200 as a donor for the floppy drive
