Up to Auckland? You mean down to Invercargill? ;)

Opps, of course. That's even more of a mission! :)
Although...I will be down in Dunedin to see my daughters sometime later in the year. If it's still kicking around then maybe I could pick up. Don't hold it just for me though cause it's no sure thing.

Dang! I was going to say I'd be keen on that Atari 800XL as well - to add to the 600XL I have here. However looks like you've got a few people keen. :?

Who'd have thought the most pedestrian machine would generate the most interest? I was sure someone would want to vent my hands of the PowerMac 7600 with the Sonnet accelerator before the ye olde Atari ;)

Essentially if anyone's close enough to come get they get first dibs.

Nobody grew up gaming on a PowerMac. :mrgreen:

Did you ever get that AWE you were after xjas? I totally found among some other systems that I gave away, an SB32PnP.

I am definitely interested in the Classic II. What condition is it in and does it have keyboard and mouse?

Another question - do you have any scsi peripherals eg cd rom drive or external hard drive? What about external floppy drives?

Alright, a bit of inventory on my Apples:
The Classic II is in fully functional condition. It is running System 6 I believe.
The Plus is in unknown condition - I haven't been ballsy enough to fire it up.
The LC575 is a bit temperamental, I think the power supply is flakey. I think its' hard drive is toast too.
The Performa 580CD is in working condition, but the drive is a little sticky.
The PowerMac 7200/120 works perfectly.
The PowerMac 7300/200 is missing a power supply and hard drive.
The PowerMac 7600/200 is missing a power supply as well.
The other LCs are now spoken for basically.
I do have external drives from my IIgs that got stolen - a 5.25" and a 3.5".
I have a couple of ADB extended keyboards, and a couple of ADB mice.
Somewhere in my stash I did have a SCSI external CDROM drive, but bollocks if I know where it is now.

The rest of my Macs I'll be keeping - they're all a tad modern. A happy iBook G3 SE 466, and a Power Mac G4 400.

I'm sorted for now, thanks... I'm running an AWE64 Value from a friend overseas and a memory expansion adapter off this Tripod site that was last updated when the Y2K bug was a thing, so all good. I had a few too many Sound Blasters around at one point... :wink:

Beags! I just had a look at these old girls (they're currently being stored while I've been shifting)... it's NOT a Classic II. It's a regular Classic. Still interested?

Ohh no! Im sorry but a Classic "one" won't do the job. So... I am thinking about the LC575 or the Performa 580 CD. It will determine on cost of shipping and I will check with a couple of courier co.s to find that out. Back in touch soon.

Well... the courier co.s say its cheaper to send from the South Island to the North and easier for the sender to contact the region office. Could you please get a quote for me:
