I use my fleet of IIgs, IIC+, and IIe computers daily, but I have been
absent from this and other discussion groups for 5-6 months. Our college,
always in an upgrade frenzy, ruined my access to the discussion groups
during a changeover to a new system. Starting today, my access has been
restored!

I will spend the next month or so catching up on reading the A2 discussion
correspondence. My e-mail remains open at bug...@unm.edu

If you have sent me any messages that are now long overdue, please repeat
them to my e-mail address.

BUGG-POWER for IIgs, IIe, or II+ are still available. $20. for 150 watts,
$25. for 200 watts. Shipping via UPS-ground averages $6.00 within the
lower 48 states.

That's cheap. I doubt I could build one for that.

Hi Stephen - been awhile. KFest is next week - I know you probably can't
make it but we'll let everyone know you're back in circulation and still
selling your products/services. =)

Have you given thought to selling just the power supply adapter cable?
Plenty of us have a gazillion power supplies lying around but don't want to
hassle with making wire modification - selling just the cable would 1.)
reduce useless power supply stack by x, and 2.) let me pick the power supply
I want use - I have a ton of Enermax and Coolmasters.

Thanks. Must have automatically screened out stuff near the bottom (in the

I completely second that motion! Shipping power supplies around is wasteful
especially since many of us (most of us?) have a small pile of them lying
around already.

Cheers

YES! In fact, I have about 20 of the BUGG-POWER CABLES fully assembled,
"on the shelf" ready to ship. SPECIFY whether for IIgs or IIE. Price is
$10.00 each, plus $4.00 shipping within USA. (No shipping charged beyond
the first cable when multiples ordered at the same time.

20 cables are already assembled, and I have enough wire and components to
assemble 100 more cables! Bugg-power 10-page instruction manual, and disk
are included. Getting cable-along is fine, if you are competent to solder
the color-coded six wires to the IBM power supply you already own.

I've shipped about 230 complete Bugg-Power units, including 25 to overseas
addresses. The soldered wiring-harness could sometimes be tucked INSIDE
the metal box with the larger power supplies. Some of them even had
L.E.D. lamps mounted on the casing, some even have had fan-speed knobs
attached. Steve Buggie

KANSAS FEST -----

I was at KANSASFEST 1996. I carried six huge BUGG-POWER UNITS, sold them
all at K-Fest.

Amazingly, the flight was just ONE DAY AFTER the blow-up of Trans World
Flight 800. My luggage was stuffed full of BUGG-POWER: heavy metal boxes
with wires protruding. NO ONE inspected my luggage, either the checked
luggage or the carry-on, and TWO Bugg-power units were in the carry-on! No
wonder that the 9/11 terrorists got their box-cutters on board the planes
so easily! Steve Buggie

K-FEST DATES: It always happens at the end of July, but I am always busy
teaching summer school at the college! WHY NOT TRY scheduling it two
weeks later (early August), so that I could attend K-Fest! Maybe others
would be able to do it, too. Just try the later date ONCE, and see
whether fresh faces show up! I did come to KFest 1996 and would like to
do it again. Early August would allow it.

Jay Edwards,

The STEALTH-GS is an Apple IIgs motherboard, mounted inside an Apple IIe
casing.

Actually, I only built three of the STEALTH-GS models. I still have one of
them left. If you (or others in the A2 group) want it, I will sell it for
$25 plus $13 shipping (for ground-UPS shipping within the lower 48
states).

I do have the article on how this modification is made, and can mail the
paper version of the article to anyone who is interested. Yours, Steve
Buggie

I'd be interested in the cable from AT supply to GS,
if you have them. Please email me with particulars and
I will send you the appropriate funds to finish the deal.

BUGG-POWER FOR APPLE IIGS / IIE / II+
150 WATT OR 200 WATT EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
STILL AVAILABLE!


Dear Apple II enthusiasts,

Since 1995, I have build/sold/shipped 214 units of BUGG-POWER.
These are heavy duty external power supplies to operate these Apple II
models: IIgs, IIe, or II+. Most of them were distributed in the late
1990s, but they are STILL AVAILABLE. At this time, I have 12 units for
IIe/II+ finished and ready to ship. There are 7 units for IIgs ready to
ship, and 24 cable only assemblies ready to ship. Additionally, I have raw
materials for another 42 units awaiting assembly.

BUGG-POWER was featured at the 1996 KANSASFEST in Kansas City MO.
Five uits were carried to the conference and were bought by A2
enthusiasts,

PRICES:

150 watt BUGG-POWER: $15.00 plus actual shipping cost
200 watt BUGG-POWER: $20.00 plus actual shipping cost

CABLE-ONLY with IIe or IIgs plug, 6 ft. length, ready to connect to an IBM
power supply. Color-coding matches the Apple II color coding. Instructions
are included.

IIGS INTERNAL FAN, 12v DC. It connects to the two-pin socket at the rear
of the IIgs motherboard. Plastic casing, NEW CONDITION, $5.00 each.

When ordering BUGG-POWER, mention whether your Apple uses RAMFAST-SCSI
card. A separate version (same price) will be shipped, for RamFast
compatibility.

SHIPPING: Via UPS-ground, within the USA lower-48 states. Estimated
shipping: $12.00. To CANADA, shipping will be via U.S. postal surface,
ground. Estimated shipping to Canada: US$18.00.
For CABLE-ONLY (with instructions, shipping via ground would be $6.00
within USA (covers 1,2,or 3 cables), $8.00 to Canada, or $12.00 to
overseas destinations beyond Canada.

MULTIPLE UNITS: Save money on shipping by getting two units in same
carton: Within USA, $12. shipping on one unit, buyt $17 shipping with two
units in the same carton. Similar savings on shipmentsto Canada or
overseas...

OVERSEAS: YES, BUGG-POWER WILL WORK ON AC 220/240 VOLTS! About 25 units
have been shipped overseas beyond Canada, to countries that use 220 volts
or 240 volts AC. For overseas, I will ship a BUGG-POWER that has an input
voltage selector switch: 115v / 230 volts. I have a step-up transformer,
and will fully test any power supply before shipping. Estimated
surface-mail postage to Europe, Australia/NZ, or Japan: $25.00, via U.S.
postal service.

PAYMENT: Within USA, personal check is okay. Because shipping costs are
estimates, if the _actually shipping_ is more than $3.00 above/below the
estimate, then a follow-up payment should be sent. (If actual cost is
within +/- $3.00, then buyer and seller will disregard the small
difference.) From overseas, U.S. currency is okay if sent via registered
mail. Personal check from a U.S. bank is okay. Postal money order is okay.
(Sorry, no paypal.)
