 (Please note that many people have already bought tape drives, CD-ROM drives,
 and modems from me.  I have a list of testimonies that I can
 E-mail to anyone on request.)

 Quite a few people have asked me if I can get any other equipment for
 the kind of prices I have been getting the tape drives, CD-ROM drives
 and modems for.  The most frequently asked for items have been SCSI
 controllers (to go with the tape and CD-ROM drives) and hard drives.
 (I now have some *BRAND NEW* Adaptec 1540B SCSI controllers for $125
 each.  I will be posting these to the .forsale newsgroups shortly;
 but if you want one you can call now.)  The following is an
 *EXTREMELY* good deal on some brand new 209 Meg Seagate SCSI hard
 drives. (Anything under a dollar a Meg is a good deal.  At .69 cents
 per Meg these are a steal!)

 The description follows:

 I have a few *BRAND NEW* 209 Meg Seagate SCSI hard drives.
 These drives went for $245.00 regularly.  I
 will give these 209 Meg drives away to anyone who wants one for $145.00 each 
 (THESE ARE BRAND NEW).  Call me immediately if you want one because I
 will give them out on a first come first serve basis and THEY WILL GO
 FAST.  If you think it is too late and they are already gone call anyway
 because your call will put you in line for one if I can get any more. My home
 phone number is (617) 246-3634.  My wife's name is Julie and she can take
 down your order info..  I am there in the evenings.  If neither of us
 is there you can leave a message on our machine and I will call you
 within hours of your leaving a message.  I will return *ALL* calls.
 If you can't reach me then send me E-mail reserving a drive and
 give me a phone number you can be reached at.
 Now you can afford a decent sized hard drive and *YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PAY
 ALOT FOR IT!!!*

 These are Seagate ST-2209N SCSI Hard Drives.  They were manufactured
 by SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY and they are high quality drives.
 These drives are internal 5 1/4" Half Height Drives.  They
 are vastly superior to most of the non-SCSI hard drives out there.
 They will work with *ANY* SCSI controller.

 These Seagates are brand new, still in the box, and come with
 *EVERYTHING*. They come with docs, and everything necessary for installation. 
 It is a complete package.  When you get your drive you will have all that you
 need to use it.  They are 100% guaranteed for 30 days.  If you get one
 and you don't like the way it matches your wallpaper simply return it
 for your money back *NO QUESTIONS ASKED*!

 I repackaged my Seagate, went to UPS, weighed the package, and found out
 the cost of S&H.  I asked them for worst case S&H in the continental
 U.S. (i.e., California).  S&H with insurance for $350.00 plus tracking
 would cost $10.00 from Boston to California.  That is what I will
 charge everyone for S&H.

 These drives also work perfectly with Linux, BSD, and other Unices for the PC.


 I WILL GIVE THESE OUT ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS.  FROM MY
 EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST, MY E-MAIL WILL BE CRAZY!


 I can take Visa or MasterCard for these.  My home phone number is
 (617) 246-3634.  You can call me *ANYTIME* up until 2:00 AM seven days
 a week.  If you are going to pay via credit card simply call me with
 your name, address, credit card info, and phone number and I will
 confirm and ship out your drive immediately.


 The cost is as follows:

 209 Meg Seagate Hard Drive               $145.00
 S&H                                      $ 10.00
 -----------------------------------------------------
 TOTAL                                    $155.00

 (This is the amount that would be charged to your credit card.)

 If you are going to pay with a check or money order:

 In order to acquire a Seagate make your payment or money order for $155.00

 send it to:

 P.S.  The Specs follow:

 I am always looking for equipment that is dirt cheap.  I especially
 like prices that are around 50% less than the cheapest price around.
 I decided to go with these since the price is right (You
 can't get new 209 Meg SCSI hard drives *ANYWHERE* for $145.00).  They
 provide industry standard performance *AND* they work with everything.
