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. IBM Professional Graphics Display				$ 75

	This is an 12" IBM PGA color monitor - quite different from
	the stuff sold today. I am hoping that someone still has a
	need for this very nice, high-quality monitor and the IBM PGA
	associated card (next item) available. It was a very high-end
	graphics device of its time (with a separate 80186 processor
	and memory and everything) for doing 3-D graphics, etc.

2. IBM Professional Graphics Adapter				$ 50

	This is a high-end 3-D adapter that IBM made years ago - called
	a PGA. It is running fine but is not supported in software
	today. In particular, there are no Windows drivers or anything
	for it - I just hope that someone needs this card and the
	above monitor for some software that still needs an IBM PGA.

3. Four Empty HP LJ-II toner cartridges				$  5 (each)

	These have only been used once and can be re-filled for about
	$35 each. So for about $40 you can get HP LJ-II cartridges for
	your own use - which is less than the typical $75 to $100
	charged by local electronics stores. I am keeping one empty
	cartridge for myself to re-fill and selling the other four
	since I simply do not have a need for this many of them.

4. Internal Mountain Tape 4440					$ 15

	A floppy controller based tape drive for about 40 MB per tape
	(uncompressed). This will work fine for somebody's AT or other
	low-end 386/486 system that you want to back up.

5. 25 pin A/B Data Transfer Switch box				$  5

	The usual thing. A box that switches 25 pins from one DB25
	connector to another. Can be used with parallel or serial
	lines, as far as I know.

6. 25 pin A/B Data Transfer Switch box				$  5

	The usual thing. A box that switch 25 pins from one D25
	connector to another. Can be used with parallel or serial
	lines, as far as I know.

7. 3COM 3C503 Etherlink II/16 Ethernet card			$ 20

	Lightly used - I replaced it with a 3c509 a few months after
	I bought it. This is an older 16 bit ISA card.

8. Stac Electronics 16bit Hardware compression card		$ 75

	This card works with the Stac disk drive compression software.
	Recent versions of the Stac software do not require this card,
	and Stac also claims that the performance on fast 486 systems
	will be sufficient to not require this 16 bit ISA card. But I
	found that this card worked well for me, and also greatly
	reduced the TSR size in memory for the Stac software - which
	was a big deal for me! I'd recommend this for any AT (286),
	386 or 486 (33MHz or less) system. I will also include all
	versions of the Stac software that I have available for DOS
	(6.22 and less) as well as Windows 3.0 and 3.1).

9. Everex EV70 Serial/Parallel combo card			$ 10

	This card has one 16450 UART for a single serial port (can add
	another one for the second serial port) as well as a parallel
	port. I forget whether it has a game port too or not, but I
	think it does. I bought this card for $50 new some time back.

10. Compaticard IV four-floppy controller + 2.8MB disk drive	$ 50

	This card and external 2.88MB floppy disk drive allows users
	to read/write 1.44MB and 2.88MB 3.5" floppy drives. The card
	can also be used for 5.25" floppy disk drives.

11. Tower case with 230 Watt power supply			$ 50

	A nice tower case for PC systems. It has a 230Watt power
	supply and room for more than the usual complement of disk
	drives and floppies than a desk-side case. This case is much
	better than the cheap low-end bent sheet-metal cases being
	sold for double this price today.

12. Original IBM AT Case with power supply			$ 20

	This is almost a collector's item, I guess <smile>. It is an
	authentic, original IBM original AT case, with power supply
	and all. I bought the AT back in 1982, I think - very shortly
	after they were released. I eventually upgraded the main
	motherboard to a 386 and then switched to a tower case for
	additional drive capacity reasons.
