Apple // update

[Zane H. Healy]

Well, I had one bit of luck this morning.  I was wondering if I had 
my System 6 install floppies for the //gs at home, and it turns out 
that I not only had them, BUT I had DOS and ProDOS 5.25" floppies as 
well.  The DOS 3.3 floppy is the one with ADT on it that I used years 
ago.  I also found a bunch of C-64 floppies as well.

Things kind of went down hill from there.  I managed to dig out my 
//gs with the SCSI adapter, and I even found the Syquest 44MB 
cartridge for the drive (by accident, as it was seriously separated). 
I need to go dig for a SCSI cable and terminator though.  I've also 
got at least one good 5.25" and 3.5" floppy (hopefully a second of 
each).

On the downside, while I found 1 //c, and two //c monitors, I 
couldn't find a single powersupply.  Plus I should have at least one 
or two //c's more that would be in better shape.  I've a feeling that 
I gave the //c's and PS's away (I know I gave one away).  I'm really 
bummed on this one, as I'd prefer to have a nice small //c running.

Also, I couldn't get back to the //e's (or //+ & other //gs for that 
matter), nor could I get to the box with all the //gs, and most of my 
// programing books.

Now I just have to find a place to set the system up, which means 
cleaning up :^(

On a positive note, that totally blew me away, I found my X1541 
cable, though I never got close to reaching any C-64's, or their 
floppy drives.  Still I managed to get the Amiga 500 where I can 
reach it easier should I want to.  I came really close to bringing it 
home.  I'm really shocked, it's been years since I've wanted to mess 
with any of this stuff.
