I haven't seen too much activity on this, but then again, I just checked to
see what comparable prices were. I now know that what I want is cheaper than
it was, and machines comparable to this have fallen in price as well.
Right.  I see where this is going.  Fine, I'll cut the price, brutally,
as I need to sell this old friend and become more mobile.
============================
Mac II 8/40 with CD-ROM, dual floppies, ext 20Mb, etc.

Includes:

* double floppy drives
* 20 MB external HD
* NEC CD-ROM reader
* MacRecorder and SoundEdit
* Apple hi-res monochrome monitor
* 16-bit Apple video card
* standard keyboard
* Communications S/W (various packages for various kinds of link)
* Microsoft Word, Excel
* Think C (and an old Aztec C)
* Mach II Forth
* Yerk (PD OO Forth-ish envirnment) installed
* Extensive collection of Hypercard development goodies
* miscellaneous development stuff (ResEdit, MacsBug, etc, etc.)
* Fonts galore
* extra-long ADB & video cables (12')
* rebuilt desk with cooling fan (see below) 

I might even throw in my one spare Moof! button (a real collector's
gem) if I have reason to believe that the buyer will use this Mac to
improve life for all sentient beings in the local stellar area.

The entire unit is at present built into a desk
fitted with shelves and hinged doors for easy
access to the various components, which I 
would also sell if it were convenient.
It has a quiet, high volume fan to keep 
everything cool, and a power strip that
handles all of the above. I'm in the Chicago
area; the desk is probably a come-and-get-it
affair, as shipping it would be a pain.

It's an all-or-nothing deal;  I'm not
interested in selling components.

You pay shipping.
