With pics!

Continuing from this thread

Apple IIe (Enhanced) Platinum, with 128KB RAM, dual 5.25" floppy disk drives, 80-Column card, Printer card (parallel), RAM disk (64KB?), etc...

Has extended keyboard (KeyPad), I bootstrapped it from the audio cassette ports from my PC. Currently archiving the software I got with it (150+ disks)

ADT Pro transfering data from the Apple Works floppy. This program/loader is a godsend!

Portrait shot of it. It's in very good condition, little to no yellowing. Awesome score!

Moving on:

PowerBook 145B. Not sure of the specs, I assume the original 80MB SCSI HDD (spins up), 1.44MB floppy, not sure about expanded RAM. it supposedly maxes at 8MB. Will have to see what I can do with it. Probably not much. I got the original OS someplace online, will have to load it. It might only have 2MB RAM. making it difficult to do much.

screen works/backlight, but since the power adapter it dead, I ordered a new one. I got it to turn on with 5 C-sized batteries in series, but it drops power too quick when the hard drive spins up. Can't wait!

laptop closed. it came from a retired school teacher here at West Side highschool (same with the Apple IIe), he said this was his first laptop he ever owned.

Infamous PowerBook logo. Funny they used "power" in their laptops prior to their PowerPC series of machines. Forethought? Maybe coincidence?

Smile! this was in the trackball area when I opened it.

other than the power adapter, this was the only other issue. I will probably glue it and touch it up with some paint I will try to get matched with it. either that get glue that I can get a dye into.

The machine is in otherwise physically perfect shape. I know it works, it's just the power adapter that is broken. I got one coming from ebay.
