Surplus from a local place.  $50. :-)

Very nice.  I like stuff like that, but I need room for the toys.  Dunno 
what my Sun count is, but I'm up to 28 Macs. (I think).

It's fun getting stuff that used to be *really* expensive for next to 
nothing.  I remember when the IIfx was released, I was wishing I had 
$10K to blow on one.  I got this one for free, spent all of $16 
upgrading it to 32M of RAM, and swapped out the failing 160M HD for a 
500M from my stack.

Best new toy, tho, is a free Mac SE with the *original* vintage 1987 
HD-20SC in it.  It works fine after a reformat, and makes that cool 
sound that only external stepper-motor drives can make.  Ahhh, 
memories.  Now I just need to replace the flaky 800K drive.  (It's a 
non-FDHD SE, and I want to keep it that way.)

Ya know, system 6 is still cool...
