Don't has any Dospro diskettes , but I do have backup floppies from an Se / Se30 circa 1988. Pop an email up on the NZ computer society , I'm sure a few of the older members will be able to help.

Yeah, but there is no VGA etc port. strictly VGA. I also have a genuine apple TV swtich box so you can connect it to your TV (well, the tv you had in the early 80s)

btw spoke to an old mac fan, suggested this site maybe of use http://www.drdos.net/

Around the time that this MAC came out I had a job as an operator , the system took up a large room and had 4Meg memory & 1.6 gig of disk. I understand that the buy price was around $4 million for the hardware.

Based on your name, I think I was (one of) the guy that collected it haha. You must work for Yoobee right? Yours had a few parts i used to help build up this one! That screen in the picture there was from you though! Someone must have connected it to 240V at some stage as the power supply was toasted as these run on american 120V. worked my magic on it and its good to go again!
