More lucky-dip items:

  • Two 120GB 3.5" PATA Fujitsu (claimed by secretlondon)
  • 120GB 3.5" PATA Maxtor
  • 20GB 3.5" PATA IBM Deathstar Deskstar.
  • Three 1GB 3.5" narrow SCSI, various.
  • Three 9GB 3.5" SCA Seagate, in a SCA enclosure which fits in two half-height 5.25" bays and exposes HD68 and standard Molex power connectors. I'm not sure if I still have the enclosure key.
  • Two PATA CD-ROMs, one is 1/3-height with a half-height fascia.
  • "CPU Switch": a four port KVM which supports both PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and AT keyboard and serial mouse. No cables.
  • DDS-1 DAT drive, narrow SCSI, fits in 5.25" bay. (And possibly another that I haven't found yet.)
  • Some sort of full-length PCI-X RAID card, two SCSI channels, onboard battery and cache DIMM.
  • Half-length DAC960 PCI RAID card, one SCSI channel. I used this until 2004 and it was quite a nice bit of kit.
  • A large bag of mixed memory: about fifty mixed sticks starting at 1MB 30 pin SIMMs up to 256MB PC133 DIMMs. Most are 72 pin 4MB SIMMs, both FPM and EDO.
I'd quite like, say, a fiver each for the 120GB disks, and the SCA enclosure and disks has to be worth a few beer tokens too. Everything else FTAGH.

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.
