I bought a MacPlus back in 1985, and I bet it's still in my 
attic somewhere. I had an external 40mb scsi hard drive on it 
the last time I used it, and that's probably still up there 
too. 

I have no idea if it would still work after sitting unused for 
probably ten years, or even if it's still there; I may have 
thrown it away at some point. But I'll take a look and see if 
I can find it. 

I don't know where I'd find floppies for it, though; does anyone 
still make them? I imagine 20-year-old floppies probably would 
have rotted away by now and be unusable.
