Hi Scott,

Congratulations on your IIx, I take it you negotiated a good price with
the seller. I got Al's series III, which turned out to be a revision 8
unit with router card.

I guess you've received a question from the seller already regarding the
cables for the series III, I'm missing mine in the shipment that came from
Texas.

Did you receive the diskettes in the plastic boxes ?

Best regards,
Harald.
