I wouldn't until I saw images of that machine working--not the images Apple used in marketing. I would also want to hear it working---does it whine indicating bad capatitors?

Plus $100 seems a bit high. My SE/30 costs that much I see on eBay and is a better machine.
15 Macs (13 of them ranging from an SE to a MDD), 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 Hackintosh. Small house getting smaller with each Mac. . . . .  .Husband shakes his head but supports my habit.

Reminds me that I have to retrieve my 'Plus' from storage and see what kind of state it's in... I'm a LITTLE worried... hopefully the battery hasn't spewed! ::)

i read that the scsi implementation of this mac is the only one that works with some really early samplers (e-mu emax)
