Re: Landfill?
I also have a few boxes of old books and IBM slip-case manuals (techRef,
etc.), 3" and 3.25" drives, at least one bundle of hard sector disks, half
a dozen HP "pinch to close shutter" 3.5" disks, a Shugart 3.5" from before
they HAD shutters, a Sony 600RPM 3.5" (if I can find it), . . .
('course all of THAT will look like Generic PC Crap to people unfamiliar,
. . . )
I'm not healthy enough (last year I had another TURP surgery, instead of
VCF, eclipse, and Concourse D'Lemons) to dig out the 8" drives, or to
really load up, so, it's gonna be a much lesser quantity of what I can
manage.

If you turn it up, I might be interested in getting that Sony 600 RPM drive,
but I won't be at VCF East. I need one to replace the broken one in my HP logic
analyzer.
Let me know price/shipping if it turns up.

Fred, I've never heard of a 5170 w/ a gold badge or a 5150 w/ a white switch. I have a very early 5150 (model A if you prefer) which according to SN is one of the first 2500 produced and that one has a red switch. Do you by any chance have the SN on yours handy? p.s. what did the gold badge signify? -Ali

If you don't mind shipping, and you're just looking for compensation for shipping costs and packaging, I'd take a couple (assuming you're .us or .ca), but there is still a little demand for these. There is nothing better. (There are a few more interesting modems, like acoustic coupler modems and some of the Telebit stuff, but for practical usage, a v.92 v.Everything Courier is top of the heap.) Jim
