Hi there, I found these at a recycle crate outside of an abandoned shop in my city yesterday, after 6 trips on my bike back and forth I got it all home.
I don't know much about Apple products, while I've previously had a a faint interest in some of the older stuff. Remembering some of it from school etc, I've not really acted on collecting either. But this find, being free seems to be as good a start as any.
Of what I found this is the following:
Keyboards and peripherals:
1 desktop Mouse
3, two are different from the other, all though one was missing one keycap I later found the cap in the waste crate.
Displays:
Apple Cinema Studio Display 21"
Apple Portrait display
Apple 17" Display
Supermatch HighRes 20 (not Apple I think, but seems Mac compatible)
Computers:
1 Powermac 6160/60 "pizzabox"
2 Powermac PPC/servers(?) (there are still two more I might go back and pick up.)
1 Quadra 700
I'm trying to do what I can with my limited knowledge about this.
So far I've removed the battery from the 6160/60 and Quadra 700 until I can order replacement ones.
I'm trying to test each monitor, but I either can't get it to connect or display anything (Studio display 21")
Or don't have the suitable connectors to the displays. So far I've tested the Studio Display 21", and Portrait monitor, and at least they do power on.
Other than that my girlfriend and I, who are both into retro tech, will try to use this as a learning experience, but any help, pointers on what do to, if there's any way to connect it to more modern connections such as VGA etc while I try to test the monitors to see if they work etc would be appreciated.
