Hi, all.

I have the following items to sell. Please give me a call if you are
interested in any of them. I have tried to price them at some rational
and very low market value - if you feel any value is high, please feel
free to make a reasonable offer and I will consider it.

All unrealistically low offers, unless supported by proven market
numbers (such as other ads on the Internet), will be rejected!  :-)

	Telephone:	(408) 441-7375
	E-mail:		szh@zcon.com

I would prefer to sell this stuff in the SF Bay Area (hence the reason
for the BA distribution on these posts), so that people can come by
and pick the items up. Cash only, please, to protect both of us - I am
*not* a dealer and do not have credit card acceptance or any check
verification methods of any kind.

Please note that once I agree to a sale and a time for you to pick it
up, if you do not show within a reasonable amount of that time, I will
feel free to go to the next person on the list for a given item.

1. Maxtor XT-8760E ESDI disk drive				$ 125

	This is a 5.25" full-height disk drive. It is about 760MB
	unformatted and formats to about 660MB on a typical PC ESDI
	controller. I used it on an Ultrastor 12F ESDI controller that
	I also have for sale.

2. Fujitsu 2263E ESDI disk drive				$ 125

	This is a 5.25" full-height disk drive. It is about 760MB
	unformatted and formats to about 660MB on a typical PC ESDI
	controller. I used it on an Ultrastor 12F ESDI controller that
	I also have for sale.

3. CDC 94166-182 ESDI disk drive				$  75

	This is a 5.25" full-height disk drive. It is about 182MB
	unformatted and formats to about 143MB on a typical PC ESDI
	controller. It is a 14ms access drive, mftd by CDC before the
	Seagate buyout and is one of the most reliable drives of its
	time. It is a solid, robust, well-made disk drive, not like
	plastic junk being made today. For reference, I have seen a
	used (identical model) being offered for sale at Weird Stuff
	for $150 plus CA sales tax.

4. Ultrastor Corp 12F ESDI ISA Disk drive controller		$  40

	This is one of the most common and best ISA ESDI controller of
	its time. The PROMS were updated just before Ultrastor ceased
	to do business and will support modern OS's. It has built-in
	1.44MB and 1.2MB floppy support as well.

5. Ultrastor Corp 22CA ESDI EISA Disk drive controller		$ 100

	This is a caching EISA ESDI disk drive controller, with
	built-in floppy drive support too (I believe). I do not know
	if it works, because shortly after I bought it (new), I ended
	up switching to a new system with SCSI, and never used it. I
	could not return it because the the 15 day return period ran
	out. This card needs at least two 30 pin SIMM's (which are NOT
	included in this offer), ranging from 256kbyte to 4Mbyte each,
	to work. Card has four SIMM slots for a maximum 16MByte disk
	drive hardware cache! Hardware cache is, in theory, much nicer
	than a software cache, since it can work independently of the
	main processor (saving TSR memory space and speed) and can
	also write cached data independently of the main processor (in
	case the system has crashed) leading to potentially more
	reliable operation.
