Re: [Plug] New (old) computer comes in, old one goes out

I'm not sure of the exact manifest; I'd have to find and inventory everything
first. The kinds of stuff I'm talking about are a couple old XT motherboards,
1200 baud "dumb" modems, old hard drives (mostly dead), old 8-bit network
cards, and a variety of add-on cards that are either old 8-bit cards that
went with the XT motherboards or that I just don't need anymore. Oh, I
also have some junk in the basement including a CGA monitor, a broken Star
wide-carriage dot matrix printer, and an old "luggable" (if you can call
it that, it's more of a specially-packaged desktop) XT 4.77Mhz system with
20MB hard drive and a 5.25" floppy -- the top seems to be missing; I think
it may have contained a screen or something.

You're about 40 minutes west from where I live.

Tell me what you've got and about where you are. I may very well want it.
How far are you from the Ambler area?
