I have goodies amighty now that nobody wants. I've tried rescuing whole boxes in mass, and rescuing bulk parts by ransacking the boxes. The Macs that I passed up went straight to the dump, not even to the recycler first. It's gettin sad out there. When institutions flush out old hardware, jobbers bid on the stuff in lots, what they can't make use of they put out at auctions and flea markets for scrapper/salvagers like me, the Fred T. Sanford of Macdom. (I did not do this to myself on purpose) A year or so ago I'd have walked across Texas (or at least a few blocks) to get the widget that would keep an old Quadra in service. Right now, me, the dog, or these 50 SuperMac Spectrum 8 cards have to go: the dog is sweet, so it's me or them. Speak now or forever. . .Will anyone ever want a 7100/66 board again? Ever? If you are going to go to the trouble to disassemble the machine down to the board, you'd be nutz to put a 66 board back in when you could put in an 80 for $3-$5. So what's to do with the 66 boards? Say 100 of them? Sigh. -- All the best, R.A. Cantrell
