DEC RX02-PA?

[Sean Caron]

Some big Fujitsu SPARC machines, too, if anyone's into those ... some
old-ish looking HP boards of unclear provenance (probably came out of test
equipment) ... Nice Ungar soldering station in good shape ... very cheap
Cisco Sup720s ... a Shugart 801 ... interesting assortment of stuff ...
prices are kind of here and there ...

I looked at the dual DEC floppy and I'm not seeing how it would fit in a
BA23; the BA23 uses a little plastic sled attaching to the bottom of
whatever goes in the 5.25" bay; it latches onto a catch at the bottom of
the bay; this seems to mount to something with a sort of rail and retaining
thumbscrew arrangement?

Best,

Sean
