In the process of breaking down my PS/2 model 80, I've "liberated" the
tape backup unit for the machine, and put it on the block... The drive
plugs directly into the open drive B slot on the Models 60 and 80 (I do
not know if it works in a plug-in manner on other models... if someone else
knows, do tell). I still have most of the documentation for the drive, as
well as a backup diskette with the adapter descripion file for the reference disk, and a copy of the PS2TAPE backup program (although I never used PS2TAPE
to backup/restore the drive myself... I always used Central Point Backup,
which seems to recognize the drive with no problems). The drive uses either
DC2080 or DC2120 tapes (if you buy pre-formatted, get Rhomat). No tapes are 
included in this offer. The drive has had a total of about 20 hours use. The
front snap-in faceplate is also included.

I'm looking for offers above 75.00, and will accept the highest bid 
received by 9/28.

Respond via e-mail only, please.

Also please note that I have no other PS/2 parts to sell right now.. my last
post looking to sell a memory board resulted in a flood of e-mails wanting
the case, power supply, motherboard, etc... these are NOT for sale. I'm merely
"downsizing" the machine for my kids to use, and too many large (and possibly
gooey) items can be shoved in a tape drive opening :-)
