Hmmm, where are you? half-height external SCSI enclosures and drives?
sounds appealing. even the external SCSI burner sounds good. Any going back
up for sale?

Well I had another good day at the auction. For $7.50 I
got two pallets o'
stuff, a pretty good haul. Even had some stuff given to me by the pee-cee
crowd.
The Good!
A VT220 in REALLY good shape, no discoloration, no cracks or scratches and
No burn-in. Even the "digital" label on the front is not even faded!!.
This is the best VT220 I've ever seen.
A SUN GDM-5010PT. Fully operational 20 inch, switchable VGA/13W3 monitor
in great shape. (He-He)
A external DDS half-height tape drive. Type unknown till I hook it up.
Another external "mystery" tape drive, looks like a QIC, but won't know
till I hook it up.
A older external scsi CD burner, probably a 2x speed, needs a caddy.
About 4-5 1/2 height external scsi cases with centronic connectors.
Unknown hard drives.
A box o' scsi HDD's, mostly 1-2 GB, condition unknown.
A couple of printers 2-3 HP 5L and 6L's a epsom and 2 HP 890's. All seen
to be complete but they may/may not work. But Hey for $7.50!!
AND
A Vaxstation 4000 m90 in REALLY good conditiom, no disk, but has all the
sleds, and 64MB of memory, and a large video card (spLGC ??) (WOOHOO)
The Bad!
A bunch of dead monitors I had to haul away as they were part of the
pallete that had the SUN GDM, an a bunch of good 13/14"VGA monitors I'll
try to give away.
A bunch of truly useless and broken stuff.
The UGLY!!
Another Dec 3000 m400. I already have about 4-5 of these, but people keep
giving them to me. They are TANKS, the heavist "desktop" alpha I've ever
seen. Full of ram, two "whiney" RZ26 and a CDROM, I took it only because
the guy who had it would toss it, if I didn't take it. The I/O on these
things is fantastic for its age though.
Two weeks until the next one... gotta clear out more space :-)
Cheers
