[NTLK] OT: Vintage Apple stuff, anyone?

[Shawn Harley]

Pismo would have Firewire and USB, Lombard would have SCSI and USB,  
Wallstreet would SCSI and Serial, IIRC, and the Wallstreet would have  
a black keyboard and 2 PC card slots, the Lombard and Pismo would have  
1 PC card slot and translucent brown keyboards. All nice machines  
worthy of saving from the scrap heap. Hope this helps.
