Hi everyone!
I managed to make another trip out to the Univesity of Michigan
Property Disposition warehouse. Here's what's up.
* Continuing the REALLY annoying trend of people taking off with
stuff before I can get to it, the ESV-3 was gone, which really
sucks. I hope it went to a good home.
* I did, however, pick up that Data General dual floppy disk drive.
I made a mistake when originally posting to the list, however - the
drive is a dual 5.25 inch unit, rather than an 8 inch unit. I'm not
at all sure about the functional condition of the unit, and the model
number of the drive is 6030. I paid $10 for it, and frankly, it's
free to anyone who wants it. The only caveat is that you really have
to pick it up from me, or arrange for someone else to do it in your
stead. The thing weighs a ton, and I do not really have the time nor
the inclination to lug it to a shipping outlet (I'm a student without
a car, and I've forked enough money over to the taxi companies this
month already). If the interested party is willing to wait a month
or so, I can take it home over spring break and ship it out from
there. Be forewarned that shipping will probably be somewhat
expensive, though.
* I also picked up an HP-IB looking cable with a Commodore
logo on it. If I remember correctly, these were used to connect
peripherals to some old Commodore systems (I don't really follow
them). It looks like it is totally unused in original bag. If anyone
wants it, let me know. I pretty much grabbed it with the express
purpose of offering it to the list, as old micros aren't really my
thing. It's free as well for the price of shipping, I guess.
Kind regards,
Sean
