There's a crate of dead Apple CD drives at work. Yes, mostly with
sleds attached. My boss, the scrapper, will send them to the crusher
unless I ask for some, at which point he will perceive value and want
large bux.
What is a CD sled with screws worth? considering shipping will be
another $3-$4....
And who all wants one? IIRC, the same sled fits the pizza-box Centris,
6100, 8x0, 950, and 8500?
Haven't seen any bezels.

Bzzzt! Wrong answer, smart-ass! Everybody knows the answer is duct tape!
Now, what about the face plate?

Yeah... my satallite goes out maybe 6 times a year (last time was during
the Oz season finale... what is it with picking bad timing).
But even with 6 times a year... that is still better than my cable that
used to go out about 6 times a month! (and I get WAY more channels for
the same money... and STILL find myself flipping around with nothing good
to watch)
Now... if I could just get a dual decoder TiVo to go with my satallite (I
have Dish Network... which is a bit behind the curve... DirecTV users
have better decoder options)

Ok, a few of you might know me from a cross post that Doc posted here
about some NeXT computers... At one point I was an avid collector of all
things computer (and I still have quite a bit), so I cant pass up a good
deal, but unfortunantly while I'm in school I have to part with most of
the stuff I get in order to get food and pay rent :) There are a few pics
of this bad boy in:
http://cherry.slurpee.org/~jon/pics/
The box it self has a few markings on it, but the contents inside are
perfect (one side of the software box is ripped, but the computer/kb/m
havent been touched). I figured I'd find a better home for it on this list
than on ebay, so if you're interested make me an offer. If you need misc
pieces for computer parts let me know also, I find a lot of old
dec/rs6000/hp9000/apple/sgi/next/misc (I dont really like x86 stuff) so
let me know and I'll keep my eye out for you.
Thanks,
jon
I just noticed something weird about my SOL.
>From everything I can tell, it is a SOL-20.
It has the S-100 backplane, the big power supply,
the numpad, etc. BUT, the silver serial number
label reads:
Sol Terminal Computer
Model No. 10 <<<yes, ten
------------------------
Serial No. 103476
------------------------
etc.
I wonder how this machine ended up with the wrong lid?

Um, no... mine has a small VAX, an AT&T Unix PC, and Apple Lisa,
a small Macintosh, a Tadpole Sparcbook...

I don't think she's thinking about getting rid of it anyway. :)
She also knows enough perl to get by, so it probably wouldn't
be a very good trade either.
I haven't been able to get her to try assembly, pascal, modula,
oberon, or c much yet.

Me too. :) Especially since she got this one. They're very
impressive up close, and I think all notebooks should be judged
by them.

That's the first step on the path to computer literacy. :)

I don't have an OMP, but I have a 100 and two 110s... I used to write
software for them. I was one of the few people that was actually a member
of the "newton developer" program with apple... now I am just a plain old
"select" member :-(

Hmmm...specialty...
- National Semi 32000 based stuff
- SBCs & eval boards for odd processors (e.g. Signetics 2650, Fairchild F8,
RCA 1801, MIL-STD-1750A)
- VMEBus stuff
- 68060 based stuff (mostly VMEbus...not really interested in an Amiga)
- Lisp, Smalltalk or Modula machines
- Interesting terminals (Tektronix, ATT 5620/730/BLIT)
- Bubble memory devices, and to a lesser extent, core memory devices
And other sufficiently odd things...

If it's a 590, I'm definitely interested. No idea what it'd be
worth though.
