I am putting together an exhibit to show at the Train and Hobby Show next month (details in a reply).
My theme is Snow White design language Apple computers.
I'll be exhibiting three Apple computers, an Apple IIc, Mac SE and a Mac II. I own the IIc and SE, and borrowed the Mac II from a friend.
We didn't know if this Mac II worked, as it was in a huge job lot. Out of the two Mac IIs they have, this was the cleanest.
To get these to power up, both batteries should be fully charged. You can also jump a 3.6v battery. I gave it a clean, checked for RIFAs and jumped it.
And it works! First time, correct chime

My favourite terminal emulator to dial BBSs was cracked Telix for DOS.

You can still use it today because we added a backend where telephone numbers can be mapped to internet addresses to @DOSBox_Staging.
