Greetings,

Do you have a IDE or MFM hard drive (at least 100 Mb) or a 9600-bps
modem that is gathering dust?

I've been looking for a hard drive to supplement the disk space on
loft.ann-arbor.mi.us, a decidedly low-budget but growing Usenet site
in A^^2 and a 9600 bps modem, in order to provide public-access net
services to users and among other public-access sites around here.  We
have space now for only a partial news spool, for example, and without
a 9600 bps modem, high-volume feeds are out.  

This doesn't need to be the latest and greatest, but rather reliable
equipment for day-to-day operation.

What I am looking for is:
Hard Drive:
	100-150 Mb (More, of course, if price is reasonable :)
	MFM or IDE 
	Reasonably fast (15-20ms, give or take).
	*Reliable* (24-hr. Operation)
	Prefer 3.5" SH, but 5.25" SH or DH is okay, too.
Modem:
	Nothing fancy:
	Hayes AT-command compatible.
	Reliable
	V42bis, MNP definitely preferred.
	External preferred, Internal is okay.

If you have something like these that you are not using, please
e-mail.  I can pick up if in SE Michigan, delivery from elsewhere
negotiable.  *All* reasonable offers will be considered.

Thanks,
-- Bob
