I found a perfect box. It exactly holds eight Apple IIc’s! Now I just need four more of these. 😜 #AppleII

One of the Apple //e machines contained this neat replacement for the normal 80 column card which allows a memory upgrade from the normal 64K to 256K and also provides a digital TTL color video output. This one has a TTL RGB adapter to CGA installed! Neat.

The second Apple //c was a completely boring unit with a physically broken floppy drive and probably-failed MT ram chips, but included an ultra-rare ZIP CHIP II in place of the stock 65C02 processor.

The first Apple //c has a fairly rare 512K upgrade card in it. And the previous owner swapped in an excellent Japanese Alps keyboard from a later model.

This week’s arrivals! Two fairly boring //c’s with one PSU between them, and a couple //e’s that contain a few interesting cards which I will post about later.

Today I received an Apple II with this neat card inside. It’s a APPLI-CARD which contains a Z-80 CPU and 64K of dedicated RAM which allows you to run CP/M on the Apple computer. #AppleII

Please state the nature of the medical emergency? We have a dangerous lunatic with zero science and medical training doing everything he can to destroy our future health. Science is science. You cannot make science political. If you do, very bad outcomes ensue.

Today I received a couple of Sonnet RackMac mini units along with some other stuff. These 1U racks allow you to mount either two Mac minis or a single Mac mini and an Apple optical drive. One of these has stickers that explain the device, which seems weird to me.

I bought this used copy of Flash Gordon on eBay and I found $5 Canadian inside the case! Reverse tariffs? I only paid $7 US for the disc. 😂

Someone gave me this iPod. I can’t believe how small this is compared to a modern phone. It’s still full of music that the previous owner loaded on it.

@atrupar If prayer worked, there wouldn't be school shootings anymore based on how many times "thoughts and prayers" have been said about these situations. Time to stop playing fantasy land and actually do some work. Not hoping a magical imaginary friend is going to fix it.

I started trying to gather my computers by type. Somehow I’ve got way too many Apple //c and Apple IIc Plus computers in my inventory. I guess I’ll need to repair and sell a bunch to clear out some space. #AppleII

I’ve had this Laser 128 computer with a damaged keyboard for a couple years with no real hope of repair. Then today I received another slightly damaged keyboard which should allow me to complete repairs!

I just bought this untested Apple //c from an online marketplace. It looks really yummy. All I know for sure is that the tasty keyboard uses Alps switches and that the unit turns on. #AppleII

Thanks to @UPS for delivering my @mercari_app package to my underwater home! I’m actually impressed because the last 17 packages were delivered by UPS to the house next door for some reason I’ve never figured out.

In a statement, leaders of popular computer retailer COMP USA state that they will not be opening any new stores in California. They blame @GovPressOffice for bad press.

New arrival! Apple IIe card for Mac LC series. This card lets certain Macs run Apple II software, using the screen, keyboard, mouse, 3.5” floppy and printer from the Mac. There’s a cable that connects to the card with connectors for an Apple II 5.25” floppy drive and joystick.

This thing is so badly yellowed. The background of the Apple badge is supposed to be the same color as the case. I’m not even sure I can retrobright it. But I’m going to try.

I got this Apple IIe really cheap because it was “untested” and when it arrived there were loose items rattling around inside. Turns out there were dozens of dried out disintegrating insects in it. I’m glad I decided to take it apart outside. The bugs liked it under the keyboard!
