That's a great find. Without the manual it's hard to know your latumapic from your tiltowait (I probably misspelled those, it has been 30 years.)

Wholly Mindless: The copy of Wizardry is in excellent condition. It was just thrown in a box along with everything else. It has all of the books and even the warranty card. I got the entire set for $75. I think it was a pretty good find.

That looks great Birddog! That copy of Wizardry looks to be in fine shape too.

Here is a photo set of my new Apple ii c project.

When I bought the computer it had a little yellowing. So, I immediately took it apart and treated it with retrobrite. I have several old Macs, but this is the first real tear down I have done. The case turned out great and best of all it still worked when I got it back together. I did have a minor problem with the led light on the monitor, so I will have to go back an and repair at some point. The last picture in the set is after the retrobrite treatment.

Looks like I'm going to have to resurrect this group...

A2Central posted this bit of news "Early Apple prototypes and products on eBay"

Check out the article on A2Central, but it appears that a pair of brothers that were early Apple employees are auctioning off some early prototypes. They even have a web site that may describe them in more detail.

I don't think anybody has posted this link yet:

"JJ Sonic" hooked up his Apple IIe last October and has been hacking hard since then. He takes terrific screen photos, these are so much better than emulator screenshots. You're not hardcore unless you grok the color fringe :)
