Last chance before they hit SCRAP...

This is going to the CLASSICCMP and NetBSD port-VAX lists, and to the two PDP-11 newsgroups. RE-PC in Tukwila, WA (south of Seattle) has a whole palletful (at least six) Seagate 'Sabre' series SMD drives NEW in their original packaging. These are already in their carrier tray with a power supply. I don't know capacity or model number -- was rushed, didn't have time to dig -- but I do know that this is the last chance to get them before they're scrapped. I did look at one, briefly. They appear to be the earlier series of Sabre, the ones that sat vertically in their mounting tray, as opposed to the later series that sat flat and were physically smaller. I also confirmed that they're SMD interface by direct viewing of the connectors: One 60-pin and one 26-pin Berg male header, standard .050 pitch. Initial asking price is $20.00 per unit, with definite discounts possible if you get more than one. To put it another way, the store would rather sell them than scrap them, and the manager of the place does recognize that there are those of us who do use the older hardware. Contact Maurice from 10:00 - 19:00 PDT at 206-575-8737 (press 0 during the voice announcement to bypass said announcement and start the phones ringing). They're closed on Sunday, but they'll be open tomorrow (Saturday). I hope this is of interest to at least some of you. Thanks for reading. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
