Time to sell off some excess stuff, and help someone upgrade their system.

           PC HARDWARE:   200mb DISK, SIPP and ram chips, etc
           ---------------------------------------------------

$350 -- Conner 30204 200 mb hard disk.  This is the fast one (12 ms access)
        and 256k internal cache, and is same size as 3 1/2 floppy.  It is
        IDE and I'm currently using it as a second drive to a Conner 3204
        drive.  I bought it 3 months ago for $440 to install Windows NT on,
        but I really need a bigger conner 540mb drive.  This one is almost
        unused, and latest PC ads list it for $379 to $450 plus VISA and
        shipping.

$100 -- 4 meg of 256k x 4 chips (81C4256-80 and 4C4256-80). 36 chips, unused.
        I ordered these to upgrade my HP II laser printer, but sold printer
        before I bought a blank memory card for it.  I've been holding these
        for a year now, and I can't find another use for them.  They are
        currently priced about $3.50 each in PC Week.

 $50 -- 2 meg of 256k x 9 SIPP memory (80 ns) low profile.  Eight SIPPs, used.
        These have a row of pins instead of an edge connector, and have chips
        horizontally on both sides.  If your sockets are 5/16" apart, they
        will work well.  Latest PC Week has these SIPPs for $8 to $12 each.
 
 $ 5 -- 10 mhz XT-compatible motherboard.  I upgraded my brother's clone to
        a 286 system last year, and this is left.  Might be good for a kid
        to build a simple system.  I've got some 64k memory chips that will
        work in this.

 $15 -- Znix wireless (infared) Mouse connects to Serial port, MS compatible,
        new but didn't seem to work on my system.  I have ATI Ultra so I
        didn't need it.  I think it just needs the NiCads charged.


           PC SOFTWARE:    Ami Pro 2.0
           ---------------------------

 $50    Unopened AMI Pro 2.0, complete with registration to upgrade to 3.0. I
        got this and the Znix mouse for $90 from a mailorder house so I could
        generate some AMI Pro documents for a client, but they switched to
        Word4Windows.  I couldn't return the special offer, but if you buy 
        this and upgrade for $79 to the 3.0 version,  it's still cheaper than
        buying AMI Pro 3.0 from a mailorder house.
        

Make an offer on this stuff, if you think the price is a bit high.  However,
I'm not desperate to sell it, so real low-ball prices are out.  I'd be glad
to help install the memory chips or disk if you're in Ft. Collins, or can
wait until I come to Denver or Boulder to catch some good jazz.  

All this stuff was working perfectly when I removed it, and I'm an EE who
always does static-safe hardware handling and storage, so this stuff is in
excellent condition.   If I help install it, I'll guarantee the memory for
30 days.  If the disk fails, it has a 1 year warranty and I'll help you
do the exchange under the warranty.  The mouse and XT motherboard are as-is.
