i also got this Shugart 606 hard drive (10MB). i don't think they did very well in the PC market.

another find is this WD-2120D, a 120MB drive meant for the first IBM Thinkpads, like the 700 and 720. it is not IDE nor SCSI -- it is IBM ESDI, a poorly named drive interface that is effectively IDE but over Micro Channel and with a different register interface.

i imaged the drive, but it just contains the same garbage sector over and over again. the only thing that changes is this 32-bit number, which increments. i suppose it's been wiped.

finally, i got a little plastic tray with an Apple part number. 073-0061. it seems to be a parts kit for an Enhanced IIe or IIe Platinum.

@tubetime Looks like those ROMs are for the original non-enhanced IIe.

@tubetime You said your dad knew Al Shugart, correct? And IIRC, he said that he was a bit foppish in person?

Tube❄️Time replied to William D. Jones

@cr1901 grandfather knew him. and, weirdly enough, i know his grandson.

@tubetime If I can't get even the person right, dunno where I came up with the foppish part then :o.

Yay fallible memory...
