Hello. I'm looking for one of the OLD CD-Rom's that are sometimes pictured
with old IBM's in TAB books. They are the old, big (well, wide) external
drives that were in a case about 12-18" wide, and about 3-4" high. I'm not
sure if they were manufactured by IBM or not. I need it for my 5170 AT.
I'm also looking for an original IBM 5170 AT keyboard.
ThAnX in advance,

None of those were meant for the list. My manners aren't as bad as
they seem to be :)

It's dated 1986. Be warned that it has no drivers. I pluged the
controller in today, and it does seem to do something, but DOS can't
find it by itself. Where are you located? This is quite large. I would
give it to you for the price of shipping and certain items which we
can discuss (I am in Boston). I wonder if I would find the Mitsumi
that you have useful for my laptop...

The one for $2500 says the reserve has not been met!!! At that price, maybe MITS
should start up again!
The Imsai is $305 right now, for the person looking for one.

I _AM_ my local overpriced computer store, and I don't have any! Can you ask
'em for me, please?
Thanks,

Well, I don't think it was made exactly for the AT, but I know that I've
seen them in old pictures with an AT. I'm not sure about the date, and I
don't think they were made by IBM, either.

The Northstar Advantage I purchased arrived today. Fired it up, booted
into Graphic CP/M 2.2. Everything seems to work peachy!
Don Maslin, the boot disk you sent me was for a single floppy drive plus
HD system. Would you like me to send you a copy of the Dual Floppy boot
disk I made?

I haven't seen the particular pictures that you refer to but I have
a weird DATEXT cd with the width of the case about that of an AT. It has
a card too. Never tried it, but it turns on fine.

Not really. There's room for an internal, and I have a sound card, and a
Mitsumi external w/ a blown controller. I'm just trying to find one of the
drives that could originally be purchased with the AT (or at least a 3rd
party accessory).
