Apologies, I completely missed the end of this thread and I ended up
outbidding Dave's friend. (A whopping $16, though the shipping stings a
bit). Hopefully I can track down some software...

Awesome. Good luck to him. I'd only be bidding to
save them from the trash so he has no competition from me.
Out of curiosity what city is your friend in?

I just heard back from my local friend; he is definitely going to grab
them. They will go to a good home.

Good to hear. I'd feel bad if they go to a
scrapper. From a quick message to the seller they run off a normal power cable. I'd
guess they're 120v systems. They confirmed they don't have any manuals or
software. I noticed the pic but didn't mention the appearance of the hard drive
either.
Seller didn't actually reply to pickup question but I rarely find anyone not willing
these days. Just some folks who feel the need to charge or make up a little loss with a
pickup fee but not accusing this seller. Itd cost me a tank of gas + auction to get but
again I'd only save it if there was a large need. Someone else would enjoy it better.
Though I do know a few texas museums that might be interested.

I have a local friend (not on this list) who was thinking about it
when they first popped up, but I don't know if he's still considering it
or not. I will ask him.

Not sure if I could save them even if I wanted
to. Size/weight the wife may notice them.
Anyone here thinking about it? Without software or drives its not likely to make it off
my todo list if I went and got them so I'm not the best candidate other than not ever
scrapping anything.
