I have a fully functioning APPle II system with the Mountain Computing
cards and the alphaSyntauri external keyboard.  It's in great condition and
I have the largest collection of software and documentation I've ever seen
for the alphaSyntauri.  If anyone is interested in some of the software,
documentation, or the whole darn system, let me know....I'd sell it rather
cheap...I need the space.
