Well, I had a deal for the drive, but it fell through at the last minute,
after I had already purged all the other responses I had gotten (that will
teach me).  So I am reposting this For Sale note.  If you wrote me before,
write again.  If you missed the note the first time, here's your chance.

Also, I noticed as I looked over it that I didnt make it clear that the
$850 price was a special deal direct from Microtech at Macworld, their
current price is $1,099, plus about $90 per cartridge.  Also, I have
all the manuals, and registration cards.

Well, the bills for all my Macworld splurges are rolling in (actually most
of them rolled in at once in the form of a whopping VISA bill) and it appears
I may have overspent myself a bit (does this sound like an understatement
to you :-) ).

Well, one of my more impulse buys was a MicroTech 44-meg removable
cartridge drive (for the mac, in case you are reading this on misc.forsale).
They had this great price $850 for the drive and $70 per additional cartridge.
I bought one, and it has been everything I had hoped, but it's just more
than I should have spent for a whim.  Help me out.

The drive has a 2 year warranty (most resellers of this drive sell it with
a one year) and is in a very attractive  se-style zero-footprint low-profile
case. The drive includes both 25-50 and 50-50 pin scsi cables, as well as a
terminator. the scsi address is externally set by pushbutton, and an init is
included that automounts cartridges when they are inserted.

I bought the drive plus 2 extra cartridges (for a total of 3 cartridges)
for  $989.00 + $49.45 tax.

The first  person to offer me what I paid (o.b.o. after a couple of weeks)
takes it.
