I have not seen them, but I am told they are in original Micropolis boxes.
The model numbers and quantities that he has right now now are:
4 ea - 1568
4 ea - 1518
4 ea - 1538
9 ea - 1558
Whew,
1568-14 is around 631MB, 1568-15 is 676MB.
1518-14 is 993MB and -15 is around 1.34GB.
1538-15 is 910MB
1558-14 is 315MB, -15 is 338MB (which are proper replacements
for PDP's and RT's and most classics.)
Marvin,
I would like one 1518-14 or -15 and one 1538-15. If your friend is
accurate accounts of them seemingly brand new they're should still
within padded boxes.
Have your friend research more models if able to for our list's benfit.
Thanks!
One thing, aren't they newer design of black HDA packs not plain
clear-coated aluminum like the 1325?

I just got a call from a friend of mine who asked me
about some
Micropolis drives. Apparently there are several different model
numbers, but the one he gave me was a 1568. His indication was that
these were new in the box, full-height drives, and this one was 750
MB. It sounds like they are for sale at about $10 each, maybe less
(there are 20 or so.) Anyone know what these were used for or what
they might go to? They will end up being scrapped in the near future
(couple of days to a week so I was told.)
Are they still originally boxed as intended from Micropolis?
Micropolis is gone out of business for 2 years now.
Could you request your friend for all models #'s from your friend's some
is of interest to classic users.
He indicated there may be more, but had no idea what the model numbers
might be.
