    My father recently passed away, and my mother is now selling the
    house, which unfortunately where I've stored most of my collection
    for two decades. I'm sure I'll regret this years from now, but I just do
    not have the room to store it all at my apartment.

    Here's a few things I'm parting with for now. More to come later.
    I would prefer local picks up (I'm in Montreal, Canada). I thought
    I'd post this here before it goes on Craigslist, Kijiji and eBay...

    Apple II Plus
    ==========
    - Rev 'C' motherboard with 48K
    - 16K Language Card
    - Parallel card with cable
    - Apple Disk ][ 5.25 drive (with Apple controller)
    - Supr Mod II
    - Apple Monitor /// display with II stand
    - Apple ImageWriter 1

    The '7' and 'Reset' keys are missing, and the powersupply needs
    repair, but otherwise everything works fine (tested with a IIe supply).
    I should have Super Serial Card clone I can dig up for the printer.

    Apple IIc's
    ========
    -Apple IIc (ROM 255) -- has IWM 'write' issue
    -Apple IIc (ROM 0) -- has faulty RAM
    -Apple IIc (ROM 255) -- no issues, OK

    I have at least one IIc powersupply and Disk IIc 5.25 external
    to go along with this group.

    Apple IIGS
    ========
    - ROM 01
    - Apple IIGS Memory Expansion Card (1 MB)
    - AppleColor RGB (mint condition, no yellowing even)
    - Apple 3.5 drive
    - Apple 5.25 drive
    - AMR 3.5 drive
    - Apple Keyboard II (with ADB cable)
    - Apple ADB mouse
    - ImageWriter II with 32K buffer card

    Fugu Lasar Elite-5 (rare Apple II Plus clone) ==================================
    - Comes in plastic streamline PC-like case
    - Detachable PC-type keyboard
    - No-slot #4 (has 7 slots in total)
    - Built-in Z80 co-processor on motherboard
    - Plug-in ROM firmware (on an slot card)
    - Case has removable port covers to mount x2 floppy drives
    - Clone of Disk ][ ("Solo Vista")
    - Original Fugu manuals/books
    - 9" ElectroHome monitor (looks like kind used on first Apple II)

    Plus a bunch of other stuff. Original shrink wrapped software,
    SCSI hardisk cases (mostly from TMS Peripherals -- anyone
    remember "The TMS Shadow" portable cases?), Apple II
    books. My old Zenith ZVM-135 (color composite + RGB).

    Mainly trying to part with the larger items now. I'll post more
    later on. I also have photos if anyone wants.

    Please reply to mspector (-AT- sympatico -DOT- ca), thanks.

    I am interested in the Apple //gs. Do you still have it available for sale?

    Thanks in advance.

    Given that the sale was posted 5 1/2 years ago, I'd suggest not...
