These is my collection of old Macintosh computers that I have.


This is an LC550 that I picked up from school before it found its way to the dumpster. The LC550s were only sold through educational channels, and right now it serves as my print server for my Apple Personal LaserWriter 320. I usually have a SCSI Syquest 200MB drive attached to it, and I may build an external SCSI CD-ROM at some point for it too.

Ok, it's not really a Mac, but it's an Apple, I guess I'll leave it on this page. Saved this one from being trashed at school. Everything seems to work nicely except the floppy drives, which don't work at all. I'll have to hunt around for one somewhere in town and see what I can do with this thing.

This is my baby. I bought this off the tech coordinator at school for $25. It's a totally unopened Macintosh Plus from 1985! Apparantly, the school gave it to some teacher, and she never got interested enough to open it, so it sat in her basement for 15 years. Then she gave it back, and our tech coordinator had no use for it, so I bought it. Now this is definately a keeper.

This Mac Plus that I salvaged seems to work fine except for a blown-out monitor. It doesn't have output for an external monitor, so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with this one... I don't even have the weird RJ-11 keyboard that it uses.

This is actually a "functional" computer. It's a Mac SE with a 40MB hard drive and MS Word 5.1 on it. Combined with PC exchange, this little thing can easily become a portable word processor. It even has a high density disk drive. Course, it also has SCSI and a modem port, which I might have a little fun with later on.

Andrea donated this 1982 computer, the Franklin Ace 1000 (it was going in the trash). Apparantly, it's an Apple IIe clone (the company went out of business over a lawsuit with Apple) The display that I got with it is pretty fuzzy and nearing the end of the road, and I don't have any software for it.
