[IAEP] Looking for very old hardware

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Whilst I don’t know anyone with a working machine that old [wish I had
kept mine .. :-( ], I have a group asking around in Melbourne. Small
online upgrade companies such as one here called Macfixit could help
... http://www.macfixit.com.au/shop
