I'm putting an old 386 machine back into service as a "guinea pig" for
whatever sort of abuses an electrical engineer can come up with.
I'm looking for a few parts for the machine:

an MFM Hard Disk.  Have a 20MB drive, but I'd like another.  I don't really
care how big the second drive is, but I would like another disk.

I'm also looking for a 3 1/2 inch floppy drive, as the 386 only has a 5 1/4,
which is kind of a pain.

An old mouse, dram chips, a monochrome monitor or adapter card, or a memory
board for a Zenith machine (Large board, over 1 ft long) would also be
welcome additions.

If you're interested in selling, trading, or even giving away any of the 
above items please email me at zandor@nwu.edu
