CC's Latest...
OK, I got Paralel squared away for now.
My latest find is an Apple ADC to DVI Adapter (to use an ADC monitor on a non-ADC equipped Mac or PC), and it works quite well.
The best part? It was $60 shipped! By far the cheapest I've found, and it's in excellent cosmetic condition to boot!
Soon to be added here is a LaserWriter of some sort and some software.
I'll post with more details as they come.

Nice! Those adapters are not cheap. I don't remember how much I spent, but it was more then you spent, IIRC. Great deal!
OK,
For the iPhone, I just got an OtterBox Defender. It seems to be one of the best cases out there for the price.
I finally got the Portable I got in like July or August opened up, but I discovered that it doesn't boot :-/ . I'll have to investigate that.
Also got a soldering station. It's not as good as the one I was hoping to get, but it will suffice (and it's certainly better than the cheap, blunt-tipped pencil I was using for awhile.
The biggest deal, though, is that I got three machines yesterday! They are as follows:
The nicest part is that they were $10 each!
Also got a few modems, a keyboard and mouse, and a PhoneNet dongle in the deal.
Oh, almost forgot. I got a few disks awhile back, some 400k, some 800k, and some 1.4 MB):
Single Sided (400k)
Double Sided (800k)
HD (1440k)
I might get a Mac IIx, but it won't come until next year (which is like four or five days from now :lol: ).

)
Double Sided (800k)

OK,
Nothing new per se, although I got the Mac IIx! Ot's en route and should arrive in a week or two.
Well, I guess there is something: a Mac 128k!
It's from that big Florida conquest (courtesy of uniserver), and it should arrive at about the same time as the IIx.
I might also get a G4 Cube, but I'm not getting my hopes up on that.
A productive new year so far.

OK, the 128k is in!
After a good cleaning, some readjusting of the analog board, and some minor repairs to the mouse, it came out pretty nicely.
The front bezel is a bit beaten up, but I have a new one on the way, so I'll have it looking like new in no time.
I'll get some pictures of it up soon.
