I would be interested in acquiring any of the 6xx model Macs. I am
currently one of the m68k Mac kernel maintainers and I have the
following Macs I use to test on (IIx, IIci, IIsi, IIfx, IIvx, Q900,
Q950, LC475 and LC575). I'm interested in acquiring any models I don't
already have and would be willing to pay reasonable shipping costs. I
have a couple of Macintosh KVM switches, so I only need the base unit.
I have 12, 14, 15 and 17 inch Mac monitors, but I would like to get a
16" for testing also.
