Geekcycle, part 1

| | Comments (8) | TrackBacks (0)
It's spring cleaning time, and that means parting with the knackered old junk fine legacy equipment that is not likely to be of use to me any time soon. All of this stuff is in Fulham, West London and you'll need to collect. Lighter items, I'm prepared to bring to a pub in central London in exchange for a pint.

The first box of tat:

  • 110MB 3.5" PATA Maxtor. An exciting historical item as it's a Maxtor that still works.
  • 420MB 3.5" PATA Seagate.
  • 750MB 3.5" PATA Maxtor.
  • 850MB 2.5" PATA Seagate.
  • 2.5GB 3.5" PATA Maxtor.
  • 4GB 3.5" SCA Fujutsu. A pull from a Sun box. I'm keeping the spud brackets though :)
  • 6.1GB 3.5" PATA Maxtor.
  • 8.5GB 3.5" PATA Fujitsu.
  • 18GB 3.5" narrow SCSI disk in external enclosure.
  • 18GB 3.5" wide SCSI IBM.
  • 27.3GB 3.5" narrow SCSI Quantum. Pull from an old-school Mac, so probably works with the funky firmware on old Macs.
  • a BJ10ex portable inkjet printer. Will need a new ink cartridge (about £10.)
  • a cute ikkle fanless 486/50 box with 8MB of RAM, 2GB disk and two NICs. (Guess what I used to use this for?)
(Edit: SCSI stuff claimed-ish, by the man with some black goats and a silver knife in the pale moonlight.)

Everything is free to a good home and in working condition unless stated otherwise.

I've got a 7GB Maxtor dating from (probably) 1997 that still works...

The 110MB Maxtor probably dates from 1992...

Note to self, 7GB is bigger (and therefore likely to be more recent) than 110MB. Excuse me.

I could be tempted by the SCSI disks... I think I've got some goats left and the knives are still sharp.

ObBeer: the Princess Louise has reopened, and beer was ridiculously cheap last Tuesday.

Chris.

Sold to the person who didn't escape fast enough! Pipe up as to which ones you want and when you're next in the Princess Louise, and I'll bring them along.

Incidentally, if you go east about 100m, you have a well-hidden alleyway where the Ship Tavern lurks. They do the best pint of Old Peculier I've had outside Yorkshire, and better than quite a few I've had in Yorkshire.

Would you mind posting that 486 box to .pt? If it's working, I'm willing to pay $price + $shipping.

Posting to Portugal is incompatible with "All of this stuff is in Fulham, West London and you'll need to collect. Lighter items, I'm prepared to bring to a pub in central London in exchange for a pint."

It is small enough to cart to the pub if you ever find yourself in the Smoke before I've thrown it away :)

Unfortunately I won't be venturing that far north in the next couple of months &/| years.

I expect to see a Real Pub at least once my life, though.
