I'm always on the lookout for vintage hardware, as i am sure everyone here does as well. But I found this weekend at a curb alert (Craigslist listing fro free stuff that didn't sell at the persons yard sale) a Mac Plus 1mb. I just got around to looking at it, plugging it in and what not and it would appear at first glance that it is operational. it boots to the "?" in a disk screen and the mouse cursor moves with the mouse. I got the "complete" setup. the unit, mouse and keyboard. After some looking I do NOT have any 800kb disks around. So I cant boot the thing. :angry:
Anyway, My issue is this:
I'm not much of a mac person. I have a fully decked out LCIII in my garage that I haven't touched in a good year or two, so the thought of putting any significant money into a plus system is something I'm not prepared to do. So the next thing I ask myself is, what do I do with this system? There are several other plus systems on eBay right now, and most are sub $100, therefor selling it is an option. But its not like the system is rare or anything. In fact, if the websites I found googling this thing can be believed, this machine was the longest lasting on their product line!
So basically I'm just going to open up a poll and see what seems to be to be the most popular opinion.
