For Sale: Brand New Quantum LPS 40 SCSIMeg Hard Drive  $160 incl shipping.

Standard SCSI, made for Macintosh, but will work with any SCSI
interface.  Much faster than the ProDrive I have in my Mac now...

Ok, here's the story.  I just took my old SONY 40 Meg drive into my
authorized dealer because it had crashed and it was a recalled drive.  I
watched with my own two eyes as he took a box off the shelf, opened it,
opened the static bag, and gave me the drive inside. (he had to have the
original packing to send back to Apple).  I went back to my dorm room,
plugged the drive in and formatted it. Then I placed the drive back into
the plastic bag and put it away safely.

This drive is NEW, and has been run for 10 minutes only!

The lowest price I have seen for this drive is around $195.  I will
guarantee it's operation for 60 days (provided you don't drop it off a
cliff)

I also have about 2 gigabyes of shareware on CDROM, from which I can
copy 80 Megs worth (compressed) if you'd like.

As I said before, I'd like $160, which I don't think is unfair.  Please
don't flame me.  If you know where this drive can be bought for NEW at a
lower price, then please email me and let me know.  I know used 40
Meggers go for around $100, but they have all been used for a while.
This drive is brand NEW.  It's one of the newer lightweight ones that
are only 1" high.

I have the original dated receipt (dated recently) that I got from the
Authorized Apple dealer.

I'm also willing to trade for equipment that you no longer need.  Send
me some details on anything that you may have lying around.
  Right now I'm looking for 72 Pin 4 Meg Simms and a 25Mhz 68882.

Again, please, no flames, this is a brand NEW drive.

:)
