I�m moving, and I don�t feel like lugging  my 'backup' 68K based
system along. It�s a honey of a machine, very easy-going & friendly,
in perfect working order, and currently set up for Internet surfing.

Specifications include:

     * 40/20MHz 68040LC (no FPU, no place to add one).
     * 36 MB RAM (lifetime warranty simms).
     * 500 MB Quantum 'Fireball' from Apple.
     * 2x CD-Rom (Sony unit from Apple).
     * 1 MB VRAM (Thousands of colors up to 832x624).
     * SVGA Adapter but >No Monitor!< (you can use one I have here
       to check out the system & make sure everything is working). 
     * >Includes NuBus adapter!< Hard to find, and expensive to buy!.
     * MacOS 7.6, including latest (patched) OSL & CFM68K
       libraries.
     * Mouse & your choice of either Apple Extended keyboard or
       Apple Adjustable keyboard (includes separate numeric keypad).
     * Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, CyberDog & a bunch
       of misc. 'net stuff already installed, configured & ready
       to roll.
     * Claris Emailer (I could load Eudora too, if you want).
     * Ethernet on the motherboard.
     * 28.8 data/14.4 fax modem with full software bundle.
     * All cables, connectors, etc. as required to produce a running
       system.

It�s more than fast enough to outrun the modem, probably more than
fast enough to keep up with *any* modem, including x2.

I�ll knock $100 off the asking price if you�ll settle for an 80 MB
Apple/Quantum drive in place of the Fireball. The software setup
would be the same...

BTW, Apple has already announced that the 68K based machines won�t
run the next generation of MacOS, but it runs the latest (7.6) with
ease, with loads of RAM to spare. It�ll run the upcoming 'Tempo',
'Sonata' & 'Allegro' OS�s too, so the machine has a lot of life left
in it. It�s small, quiet, and will give someone years of useful
service.

If you already have an ISP, I�ll even help you set everything up, so
you�ll leave here with a working system. Or I�ll deliver it anywhere
on the 'west side' of the bay area (Campbell to Menlo Park, more or
less).

Hate to see it go, it�s a terrific little system - but I�m not using
it, not likely to, I don�t want to move it, and it needs a good home.

Prefer bay area sale - not interested in shipping.

$500.00 for the bundle ($400 with the 80 MB drive) - serious offers
considered.
