Bought these from ex. Apple employee. Had to drive some 120 km in really bad weather to get these today.

Newton MessagePad 120 (in a box, like new!)

Newton Connection kit for Macintosh (boxed, unused, cables still in a sealed bag)

Ethernet Card for LC (boxed) with RJ45 convertor adapter

Macintosh IIsi + monitor + keyboard + mouse (no ROM inside.. not yellowed, but dirty inside).

Monitor for IIsi + cables

Microphone for PowerBook (boxed)

Lots of vintage games and multimedia CD-ROM's (had to take them to basement to sort them out someday)

He had also iMac G4 15" 700mhz (broken HD) and iMac G5 20" with iSight, but i just don't have the space and he wanted money for those. I am facing really big time organizing to make space for all hardware, or take some extra Compact Macintosh'es to the basement..

Bummer, the Newton has 1.3 in it. Atleast it's really clean and boxed.

Should fire up the IIsi. The HD was 40Mb and memory looks like very stock, possibly just 2Mb. Let's see if i have time tonight. It's quite pretty machine i must admit. Still however waiting for the possible IIfx-deal that is cooking.

Fired up the IIsi. Had stock 5Mb RAM and 40Mb HD (really nice, not so loud). Works like charm. System 7 inside + some Office products (excel, word etc). Some extra memory would be nice so could upgrade to 7.5.

The software i got are in storage in basement for time being. Sorry for the lousy picture, no flash on cellphone.

The SuperPaint disks are at home, the manuals seems to be in the basement :lol:

The IIsi is a nice machine, just performed an upgrade this week end (clocking it at 25 mhz, have a look at hacks in the forum for details)

Did you try Ram Doubler, is not the real thing but helps.

I am waiting for a large conquest to arrive, should have some memory modules wich i hope will fit IIsi. My IIci is fast with 18Mb and Cache card!

Thanks for hack-tip! I had totally forgot that.
