I collect the Outbound Laptop Model 125.

The thing I've always lacked is the daughter card which goes in the Mac Plus or Mac SE from which the ROM for the Model 125 was taken. That daughter card allows you to dock the 125 with the zombie Plus or SE and use the Plus's or SE's screen (dual screen in '89!) ports, keyboard, and RAM (don't know how that worked, it sounds slow).
I had an offer for three of the cards for $15 each from a fellow through Usenet (comp.sys.mac.wanted) back around 1996, only he wanted a money order. I didn't want to go to the Post Office, and wasn't in any hurry, so I suggested that I just send him a check and he could send me the items after the check cleared. I never heard from him again.
I've never had a lead on the daughter cards since. That guy might have been a fraud, but I have no reason to believe so...
That's my big one that got away. I've been looking for one of those cards ever since.
The horrible thing is that a Plus or SE with the daughter card installed won't do anything unless the Laptop is docked, because the ROMs are in the Laptop. So I bet the few machines out there that had the cards installed were trashed long ago as non-working.
