Another awesome goodie for Apple II systems is the Booti drive. Think of it as a HDD for your Apple, with everything on one card, and it uses USB sticks rather than spinning rust.

I have one (They're made here in Oz so I sourced it locally) and it is the awesome.

(I don't want to admit to how many Apples and Apple clones I actually have)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I only own 3, the ][e, a Mac Classic and a Performa 6200.

Trouble is there's also the 10+ Atari STs, the 3 BBC Bs, an acorn Electron, a QL, a couple of Spectrums, a ZX81, an Oric Atmos, A1200, numerous consoles, 2 SGI Octanes and some other stuff that I can't remember right now.....

I might need help....

It's threads like these that make me feel so much better, not being as big a hoarder as I thought :lol:

I don't see this as at all unusual, other than the ST habit. :-)

In terms of pre-Intel Apple stuff, are 2x Mac Plus, 2x SE/30 and a Portable too many?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
