yes, I remember drooling when I saw the Ebay photos of that IIx.
it looked in very good physical condition.  who and what was it
used for in Florida, if I may ask ?  But being a computer/electrical 
engineer, I also had to face reality when I could imagine that IIx 
and all its cards stored in a hot, humid Florida garage for some 
time.  

I'm very curious as to the 360 systems keyboard and special card
and software disk from 360 systems for the IIx.  This is news to me.
What was the 360 systems keyboard used for with the IIx ?

best of luck with the IIx, I hope you get it up and running.
send some photos to the list when she's all happy and whirring away.
