  1. If he parted these out, he'd make a lot more money. No one needs six disk drives.

  3. I got the software to copy, but no apple ii. Maybe the winner is willing to part with one of those II's for the software.

  4. It would be extremely philanthropic gesture for someone with disks to copy them once or twice, and help spread the software again.

    2> Does the apple II need the mini-card that attaches to the CMU ribbon? Mine does not have that. I go tthis hoping to find either the 64 software or apple II software, in which case I would track down the hardware.

    3> Best of all would be to get the MIDI kit working, as on the japanese website "Radiojunk".

    Does anyone know which models on which these will work? II, IIe,for sure...but IIgx?

    If I ever find out anything good, I will be sure to post on matrix. A CMU group would also be good way to spread info ...

  5. Once I get an apple ii I'll be more than happy to spread the love.
    I've thought about the midi mod for it but:
    A: trying to decipher the google translation to that japanese page is like listening to Yoda drunk on tequila.
    B: I thought about contacting Analogue solutions for it but for that much $$$ im better off with an apple ii.
