	I've got two pro 350's at least one of which doesn't work.  They
appear to each have
        video cards with the Bitmap option card (not sure but it fits the
			description.)
	hard drive controller
	Hard drive (20 meg?)
	Ram cards (Not sure how much.)
	floppy controllers
	floppies.
	The mother board appears to have an thick ethernet connector on
	it, but I'm not sure.

One of the pro's will turn on, but the green light in back by the power
supply does not turn on.  The other the green light comes on and the
hard drive seeks for a while, then stops.  I don't have a monitor or
keyboard for either so I don't know if it really works.

	I don't know how much any of it is worth, but any offer has to
be enough to motivate me to go to the closet open the thing up, take out
the part and ship it to where ever.  In light of all this the terms
will be if I accept your offer, you will have to send me enough money
to cover shipping (probably about $10) and I will ship it.  If it works
and is what you thought it was, send me the rest of the money.  I will
verify numbers on the back of the card before shipping so the chances
of it being totally different from what you thought should be minimal.

	I will also consider trades for pc hardware.
