I was just going through all my old junk I've had for years. Some of it
is still useful (canon to rca (and on to bnc) cables)). I have a buddy
runs a sound studio will probably be happy to have that kind stuff in a
box. I've got a mini-jack stereo to canon for him too.
Then I'm look a bit further, you know, and I'm thinking "one day
Superman will come to me and say 'Warren, Warren, Warren!. If I don't
find a USB-to-ADB adapter in the next 15 seconds the earth will fall
into the sun,' and I'd be all 'Well, Superman, I think I might be able
to help you out there,' and he'd be like 'Thank God. You don't happen to
have an ethernet to localtalk bridge and a small SCSI terminator do
you?'"

I hang onto a lot of old stuff like that in the hopes that one day I
will have a room dedicated to keeping old stuff running - a personal
museum of sorts. : )

Sounds like the Connectix QuickCam camera. I usually have one of those
connected to my Mac SE when it's up and running. : )
I sold my ZX81 on eBay a few years ago for $30 or so after a closet
cleaning excursion. : D

Yeah, I got one of those "antique boxes" myself. Honestly, half of it
I'm not even sure what it's used for anymore. My how times change.
And my old 8600 still sits collecting dust in the corner of my office,
hasn't been booted in years. I upgraded to a 1st gen Mac Mini in about
1995-6 and never looked back.

great, but works well enough for me.
