If that fails, you might be able to do a visual check against the images in the appropriate Nubus Mafia categories.

That's some truly top-notch conquesting :D

eBay definitely beckons.
Trading Post?

Trading Post?
Yes, here too. There are, however, certain things that are worth real money (like SE/30 ethernet cards) on the right day on eBay.

On this topic, I am sorry to say that there is no 660av nubus adapter in the haul, which I have now been through in a first reasonably methodical pass.

There is, however, yet one further SE/30 video card that has emerged, this one a Radius two-page display with a VGA connection. That makes three SE/30 video cards. This latest must have been made for the old Radius greyscale displays that came with a VGA rather than a DB15 connector.

If you're parting with anything, I'm certainly interested in any LC motherboards, a couple 68040 processors, and a SCSI to Ethernet adapter.

Ditto on any full '040s that come up for grabs.

Go on. Do the dance. You know you want to. :)

Have you been checking IC-China on ebay?

Unless I go scrapping the Q650, I have so far only found two 68040s, at 25 and 33MHz, but plan to keep them (for my Q605 and LC575). I have a few 68LC040s processors, and seven or eight Intel Pentiums, but obviously neither is so appealing.

Religiously. He hasn't had any for ages, and when he did he wanted Amiga-market prices for them :/

Any Dual core Pentiums?

Sorry, no.

The parts list sounds good, to be honest that stuff is harder to find then machines these days.

The last time I saw him with any, he had two 40 mhz and I bought both of them. I think he wanted $15 each for them, but that has to be about a year to a year and a half ago.

And I agree about Amiga users ruining the market for cheap parts for us Mac users.

I have posted a number of photos of some of the interesting things on the group's Flickr site.

Daystar DiskRunner caching SCSI card :O so jealous right now.

Your haul of SE/30 PDS cards makes me want to

:scrambled: xx(

Very nice little treasure trove.

As for the Daystar Diskrunner, I know next to nothing about it.

What machine would a Diskrunner be well paired with? I would have thought that, by the time of the IIci, say, it would have been redundant. Or is there a use for it even in 1990s hardware?

Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his car all the time and I'm surprised the heat hasn't damaged it.
Definitely. I left a Dell Optiplex (covered in black plastic) in the back of the car for about 2 days (in the middle of summer, in Melbourne...) and when I went to collect it it was little more than a warped mass of black and grey plastic. Another issue is that with the older macs, moving them from a hot to cold environment constantly causes the plastic to brittle - hence my beige Plus cracking in several places when I went to pry it open! Weather and computers don't mix...

I am a jealous, jealous man right now. Any unwanted goodies among the haul of audio gear? ;)

Same here, but I do seem to recall someone else here extolling their virtues. I'll see if I can dig up the thread.

Meanwhile, software here - maybe it has a readme or a manual in the download.

Does the portable even work?

The Portable was not finally included in the lot. But there was a lot in the lot, anyway, if you know what I mean.
