I don't see a Tandy in the pictures, wonder what those disks went to.

Fantastic score! Compleat Guide to the Pismo

I'd say you should take the scanner because you can use it with said Power Macintosh 7600, and I think it'd be a nice accessory. Anyways, nice find!

Original 9600 CPU cards will only work in a 9600 or 8600. That said, any other PCI series daughterboard CPU will work in the 7600, including G3/G4 PCI series upgrades and dual 604…

I don't envy you for having to take all those CRT displays, but other than that, fantastic score. The AIO Compaq and all the software, parts and accessories are particularly neat.

First a bit of back story - Skip ahead if you want to get to the goods I did some work for a local church years back involving restoring a few older computers (Pentium IIs and …

I used to use an alphasmart in like, 4th or 5th grade.

Awesome find! Yea I got two Pismos (since sold one) that were both DOA but I unplugged the PRAM battery and they work! The 500 mHz's are the best and harder to find, congrats!
