Try also amateur radio clubs, as they typically have "old" equipment,
including computers (for packet radio), and computer flea markets, if
there are any near you. Here in Boston there is a monthly electronics
and computer flea market at MIT monthly during warmer weather. I myself
am a packrat and have probably a half dozen under 500 MB and another
half dozen up to 4 GB. If you can't find a local one, pay shipping
and a few bucks for my time and I'll send out a couple.

Already found a few drives from another list member, thanks for the reply

Hmmm, older SCSI drives out in those same lots? 4-8Gb would be nice. Keep
getting DOA or bad sectored drives from other places (epay, etc).

Hey, on another note, anyone know of a computer flea market in the Hudson
Valley around Newburgh? John, William, Curt, Sridhar?

Hi,
I could use 10 large antistatic bags fast.
I'm north of New York city.
Anybody know of a place to go to?

See if any of the PC shops in the area will give you some. The PC
motherboards and expansion cards should come wrapped in them and if they
build or repair PCs they should have plenty of bags left over.

I get mine at antistaticbags.com - speaking of which... I need to place an
order, getting low on the size I bought before for HP I/O cards, and need a
stock of another size for HP 13037 cards and PDP11 unibus cards. Volume
discounts & all - anyone want to go in with me on an order?

They are off 44/55. Really great guys, national chain. Will overnight parts
if not in stock, no charge. They carry everything radio shack should have.
Most all electronic components from proto boards and parts on up. I think a
10 pk of big anti-static bags goes for less than 8 bucks, last I checked.
Though, I don't know the exact size you're looking for. Give them a try.

This is probably not what you're looking for, but Consolidated Plastics
(800-362-1000) has 12" x 12" pink poly with gripper zippers for 500 @
$176.70. There are other assorted sizes.
These are great for PCI and ISA sized cards, as it's a lot easier to see
what's in the bag than the metallized Charles Rivers bags. The CR bags are
really nice, and tend to last longer. They also seem to be more readily
available in larger sizes.
Another place to check for anti-statics bags is www.cyberguys.com. I haven't
compared their prices, but I saw them in passing a few weeks ago, while
leafing through a catalog.
