At ThinkGeek they used to have a Static Electricity discharger I always use for computers and the like... And how about Static Spray?

I'd recommend switching out analog boards before you try to use it again. Try to find a working SE/30 analog board to use while you deal with the one in the machine now. And, if …

I've seen floppy drive cleaning kits kicking around the dollar stores, still. They seem to consist of a normal 3.5" floppy casing with a "disk" made out of fabric, and a small tub…

The IIgs can do Appletalk with a mac using the serial port, you just need a version of GS/OS installed with the correct driver. There are also HFS drivers for GS/OS 6 that let you …

COOL! I think I have a Spectrum in my pile o' curiosities, so that's good to know.
