-------------- Forewarded Message Follows --------------------------
Hi all,
Is there any general interest in NEW ST-506 (5 Meg) MFM hard drives? I
have found a source of some 200 drives. These are NOT used. In fact
they are still in their original shipping contianer. I was not quoted
any specific prices for these so I can't say how much the owner wants
for each. So I told him I would post a message to see if selling these
drives are worth the effort.
TIA,
A. J.
