I passed up a pair of IIx Macs last year when I picked up a Q950 and a
WGS95. The IIx would have been A/UX 1 era machines I think (My IIfx was not
supported until 2.01 I think). The machines were way to yellowed, which is
probably why I passed them up (bit I did snag the RAM, video cards, network
cards, and the Radius Rockets before the owner scrapped them). A/UX 3 came
with the WGS95, probably the highpoint of my collecting last year. I have to
say the big box Mac II's are very nice machines.
