I managed to score myself a IIe - yay!

I will still need to find a monitor for it, and sort out some kind of adaptor for my UniDisk (to Disk II controller) - but I guess thats all part of the fun. I'm hoping to pick it up on Wednesday.

Hope it works

Congrats! It's always fun after an e-day because suddenly a few interesting computers appear of Trade Me for $1 reserve.

I wonder who got the IBM 5150? Given it's apparent condition and the fact it was working, I think whoever won it got quite a bargin.

I think Apple IIes will just take a standard monochrome composite monitor, yes? Mind you, even those are not that common these days I guess. Or are you looking for a genuine Apple one for it?

Yeah, although not my thing, I was impressed at what a tidy looking example it was.

Yep - but your right, just finding an old composite monitor (let alone an apple one - which would be nice) will probably be a mission. I guess I might just have to plug it into my TV for now. Still, I'll just be happy if it works to start with

Just the "Everyone's A Wally" cassette game for the C64

But do have fond memories of playing the song on the reverse side on the bus on the way to F2 School Camp. It was pretty cool.
