Hi there, I shipped my Mac IIx, the monitor, keyboard and Imagewriter from Singapore to Sydney 12 years ago and they stayed in storage up to now. Now when I opened the boxes, I find the mouse and the cables connecting each other (CPU, monitor, keyboard and the mose itself) missing or missplaced somewhere. I am eager to connect them up to see how they work togehter. Power cables are there.
I need to find a place to buy the missing connectors and a mouse to make it work - hopefully. Can anyone help me?
