lol Yea, it probably does look amazing. I'd have a hayday rummaging through all of it, and then playing with most/all of it... :freakout:

If you don't have pictures for us soon I'm gonna get upset... :cry:

OMFG

Floored


Words escape me. We need lots more better quality photos.

This is the sort of haul I have went to sleep dreaming about. Seriously, I actually have went to sleep dreaming of pulling back the dorrs of some old shed to see this kind of image greet me. In my dream I am as happy as a pig in shit and looking at all the lovely old rare systems still boxed. Looks like this dream has come true for you.

This needs to become a BLOG story will images etc. Well dont Crusty, a superb job.

It looks to me like an Apple 16-pin DIP Game Port socket (on the motherboard) for Apple II, II+, IIe, IIgs.

I do not mean to keep everyone in suspense as to what was in this find, but right now am trying to sort repack and make room in the house, as weather did not co-operate with the move. Rained heavily the night I brought it home, and could not unload to temorary storage area and had to unload everything into the house.

Will post more pictures on weekend and try to get it on the blog as well. There is just so much stuff, it is almost overwhelming . :freakout:
