The time has come to retire my friendly "workhorse" and move on to a PC with
greater capabilities (read 6lb laptop 286).  What I have is as follows:

PLEASE make an offer ... I have no idea as to the actual worth of any of the
following items.  Though I would prefer a block sale, I would be willing to 
split the items as delineated by the breaks.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(a) This item, along with a CGA, was "valued" @ $400 by the Boston Computer 
    Exchange ...  a true worth?

	1) Original IBM PC (later date BIOS)
		135W Power Supply
		original keyboard
		floppy controller w/ (2) 360k 1/2 height floppies
		256K on Mother board

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(b)
	1) AST 6 pack PREMIUM (up to 2MB on board, EMS4.0 &/or EEMS) with
		1MB of 256k chips ... backfill to 640k ... serial, parallel, ...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(c)
	1) Everex HD controller with ROM support up to 40MB
		1) (unreliable) Seagate 4051 (40MB - full height 40mS)
		1) (good - hardly ever used) Seagate 4036(?) (30MB - 40mS full)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(d)  This item is somewhat of an orphan ... was first sold before EGA was 
     released.  Sigma Designs currently supports this (to a limited degree 
     obviously) but drivers are available, from the Sigma BBS for things like 
     lotus, windows, GEM, autocad ... to take advantage of the 
     EGA < Color400 < VGA graphics.

	1) Sigma Designs Color 400 (double scan CGA)
	1) Princeton Graphics SR12 monitor

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(e)
	1) Toshiba 1351 printer (24 pin, wide carriage, fast)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
(f)     1) Mouse Systems PC mouse (3 button optical)


Thanks !
