Hi all,
I've had a few people express interest in the cards, I guess more people
are collecting PS/2 than I thought! A few updates and answers to your
questions -
* I found ANOTHER card that I missed in my first inventory; it's an IBM
ENHANCED 80386 MEMORY EXPANSION with four out of four SIMM slots filled. I
think this is 8Meg in total (?) and was a pull from a Mod 60? 32-bit card.
* I'm willing to ship them pretty much anywhere at the expense of the
person interested in them. They are small and light so not hard to box up
and ship. Cards will be anti-static bagged before I pack them but they
might be a little dusty.
* I'm located in southeastern Michigan, USA; greater Detroit area,
basically.
I'm not sure how best to divide these up equally... uh, I guess, anyone who
wants, just send me an e-mail with what you want and where you live. I'll
figure out how much it costs to ship to you & pack them in the next couple
days (sorry very busy today) and let you know what that costs. I'd
appreciate say, $5 USD per card on top of shipping, I think that's fair...
not trying to make a profit off anyone's back but it'll cover the cost of a
few more Q-bus boards for my stash so we can trade indirectly, something
useful to me for something useful to you. I'm very flexible; my main
priority is re-allocating these cards to people that can actually use them;
just offer what you think is fair. I'd like to make sure everyone who needs
a few NICs gets at least one or two, but generally first-come first served.
Best,
Sean

Hi all,
I'm doing some housekeeping and I seem to have a pile of IBM MCA-bus cards
here, but no longer any MCA-bus computers that might take them. If anyone
on-list is interested in them please follow up with me and we can work
something out. Here's what I got; it's all for PS/2:
3Com Etherlink/MC 10Base2+AUI (qty 3)
3Com Etherlink/MC 10BaseT+AUI (qty 3)
IBM SCSI (FRU 15F6551) (qty 1; sorry, no proprietary internal cable)
IBM "RAM EXPANSION CARD" (qty 1; 2 out of 4 SIMM slots filled)
I'm pretty sure this stuff is all Linux-compatible. The SCSI card and
memory card are 32-bit; the NICs are all 16-bit. They probably all work
great but obviously no promises with stuff this old.
Best,
Sean
