Large Apple III Collection |

 The Apple III Plus Computer. This unit is configured to use three drives.
I received a very large collection of Apple III computers and related items including docs and software from David Otalini. I have only begun to work through the 20 or so boxes of docs, parts, software, and newsletters. In the mean time, here are some photos. Reply |

 Replaced the motherboard and the keyboard light bulb. The system now has only 128K, but it's back to stock configuration and it works. Nice and clean too.

 Typical directory from a Apple /// system disk.
 Both of these drives are now functional after replacing blown "rifa" capacitors.
