From James Davis@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 27 13:07:00 2017
Hi all,
I have the following Apple II/II+/IIe peripherals/cards/chips, Enhanced Apple IIe computer, and Enhanced Apple IIe case, that I am not using, and will never need again:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will have to do some research on most of these things before I can put prices on them. Anyone interested in purchasing any of these things, respond privately to this post with a BID (in U.S.A. Dollars). All bids will be considered, but only accepted
bids will get a response. Shipping and Handling will be an extra charge. [I will only ship things to purchasers in the lower 48 continental United States of America via the U.S. Postal Service ("Snail Mail").]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUP 'R' MOD. II Ch.33 TV Interface Unit (Black & White or Color) from M & R Enterprises, Sunnyvale, CA 94088
$F800-$FFFF Memory Select Switch Box (that I made for my Apple II+). Selects between (rotary switch positions) 1 and 5 Normal; or 2, 3, or 4 Forced (LanguageCard or MotherBoard, ROM or RAM) 2 LC-ROM, 3 MB-ROM, 4 LC-RAM.
EPROM WRITER CARD AP64E and a UV ERASER LIGHT BOX (Programs/Erases: 2716/2732/2764 chips). [You need these to program chips for the John Macdougall LCAs and/or the S.C.R.G. Quikloader.]

I have changed my mind on this! I will not limit where I will ship things to purchasers. I will ship world wide, but I cannot guarantee the delivery services of other countries postal service companies.
Shipping and Handling will still be an extra charge.

I am sorry, but shipping and handling charges and restrictions make shipping of anything to Europe practically impossible! My minimum S/H charge would be $100.00.

How do you explain that? What has changed?
I have received hundreds of items for years from the USA to France with no troubles.

My Time is worth money. Plus cost to post is about $35~$65.
The manuals can tell you more about how to use these Expansion Chasssis.
The two I have are more like one and a half. One is complete with Power Supply (120vac transformer block that plugs into a wall outlet and into the MH-EC) and Apple II Peripheral Interface card. The other one is incomplete; it is missing the power
supply and interface card and the top cover plate; and the back is rusty. Also, the two MH-EC motherboards are different (versions/models). I do not know if they work. I never used them. [They were hocked to me for a loan that was never paid off. So,
essentially, I bought them!] They have been out in my garage for about 25 years. These would be suitable for an Apple II/II+ owner who likes to fix and experiment with old electronics.--[like JORGE! ;-)]
I would trade them both for an Apple II Super Serial Card (with connector cable).

Looking at the two different MH-EC motherboards and comparing them to the pictures in the two different operating manuals, it appears that I have one of each. The one with the rectangular grid of holes is the complete one [from red manual]. [I wonder
if those holes are for experimental/bread-boarding purposes.] The one without the holes is the incomplete one [from blue manual].

Geoff,
That is not important to me. I cannot use them. They have been packed away, unused, in my garage for approximately 25 years, which is way too long. I need/want an Apple II Super Serial Card. I am willing to trade them for a good one. Somebody else
can use them if they are salvageable.

Just so that you are fully aware (if you are not already), if you listed the expansion chassis on eBay you'd probably be looking at $300-$500 each (maybe more??) depending on their condition (I have not looked at your images). For some people, these are *
very* desirable (almost holy grail items). From what I can tell, they are very rare.
To put it in perspective, an Apple II Super Serial Card can be had for approx $20-$30 and they are as common as muck.

Are you sure you want to be *that* generous? :-)

Hi Poly Morph,
I really did not know how valuable they were, but I have already negotiated a deal, and I will not rescind it. The SSC is already in transit and once received will not be refused. The situation is as I stated above; and, an implicit promise was made
that I would trade them for an SSC as soon as I posted it above, so I will stick by it.
Also, there are no images to see; I do not do digital photography; and, I do not buy and sell things on the public internet (e.g., eBay).

The two Mountain Computer, Inc., Expansion Chassis I had have been traded. Any inquiries about them should be addresses to their new owner. I will not forward them. If the new owner wants to tell the world who s/he is, s/he can do so here, in reply to
this post.

Not from Steve Ciarcia. About 15 years ago, I wrote to him about it. He
sent me several cards and documents he had left at the time. I donated it
all to KansasFest several years ago for the Garage Giveaway.
Maybe you’ll hear from one of the recipients. ;-)

Want to sell it? If so, you probably have a price request for it?
I am willing to pay all costs and shipping cost to Finland, which is in Europe. I handle the import duty myself. I notice in the earlier conversation that posting abroad is not your favorite, but do you agree this time?
I've been looking for this card for 20+ years. I had the C64 version, but I have lost it. I started drawing the card with Eagle CAD, but it's still unfinished.

And person who can do normal international trade with common modern methods.
I know that ship overseas via USPS Priority Mail Express International, and a one-pound box would be $69 for the postage alone.
