Free (if you pay shipping) --(3) old SCSI Compaq hotswap trays - DRV/TRY 2.1GBWD w/ Seagate ST32550W drives
Feel free to slap me with a trout if these are worthless--- but maybe somebody
has an old server box as a mailserver that could use them . Somebody dumped this '96 era P60 server in my driveway; boot tray/drive missing but it did have uses to me-- needed some long 68 internal cables and it was full of (16) 32M SIMMs for donation machines. Don't laugh too loud; the side panels are already recycled as radio mounts at wurk; the 12X CDR drive is in a donation machine; and I raided all those 2 ft drive-power cables with ferrite beads to clean up my own machine! The drives are probably good Barracudas; plugged them into my system and they didn't make any strange noises beyond their usual loud whines but didn't surface test them with my SCSI hostcard as I don't have any use for them . The trays are probably the "goodie item" they allow hotswap of standard SCSI-2W drives if you have a Compaq box that uses them. You want'um-- shipping is all I want. Even better-- I'll swap shipping for any version of 98/98SE OEM/Upgrade OS; even 98 to 98SE upgrade disks. I'm always looking for legal OS for donation boxes.

I don't want 'em (sorry) but just wanted to say "good for you" or thanks or whatever; there are a lot of people who would be thrilled to have older machines (OK, you gotta do Pentium for most things, it's true) and while some people turn up their noses at P-IIs and toss them out, they make great machines for students who can't afford computers otherwise, and for many non-profit agencies, etc. So I hope others are following your example where they can, esp. w/things that are hard to find (which are, generally, older memory, monitors that actually work, sometimes decent printers.) -- DE |

I will will second DE's praise for your efforts. I try to do a little of that but have bad luck finding needy people to give my extra systems to, like the 5 or more I have now. If anyone has a worthy cause needing a computer, reply here and I will contact you and give you some help. Big Al in Seattle |
