I'm probably the guy from "up north" he's referring to, but I made no
mention of paying a bunch of money for the machine. I simply told him
that if he had no one local that was interested then I would
definitely consider driving down and rescuing it... after all, listing
something for $1 implies (to me) that he's willing to entertain
reasonable offers. I certainly am not going to make him rich. :)
He told me he was out of town and would send me pictures of the real
box when he got home... I haven't heard anything since.

I went and looked at this today. ?The guy thinks
someone is coming from "up
north" to pay $$ for the thing. ?I called him, told him I was local, and
could move it, but would not be willing to do any money due to the age,
weight, etc. ?I planned to part it out to people interested in the thing
wherever, and enough was left ebay the rest.
He has a system with no media, 1 RL02 drive on top. ?He didn't say till I
got there that he thought I was going to pay for it. ?I have seen older
minis like this around the area for pickup, told him that before going
there, and so needless to say it is still there.
It does have a Fujitsu SMD drive, and maybe a SCSI backended F880. ?I didn't
look at the F880 to be sure.
The system is in two separate cabinets.
I told him that real money such as he has seen on ebay means someone who is
listing it, knows what they are selling and will warrant what they sell.
?The ones that just list $800 cpu boards stay on ebay and don't sell.
Anyway hope this helps anyone inbound to see it. ?I'll answer any questions
off list that I can answer. ?Again, two cabinets, condition looks like it
was stored in a garage (not pristine, but not rusted either). ?He says "well
I powered it on 10 years ago and it worked" when I explained the situation
about his idea of value, and mine.

It's probably just as well I'm no where near close, but I have to
question
the description. What is the odds of a 20-30 year old system being "brand
new", and where do the Western Digital and Kennedy Tape Drive come into
play
based on the photo. ?I see a /23+ and two RL02's. ?A rather nice config.
?I
have a /23 like that, though lack the rack.
