Ok, I have two items for sale...

ITEM 1:

ZENITH 183-93 IBM XT COMPATIBLE LAPTOP
640K, 20MB Hard Disk, 1 3.5" floppy, Supertwist backlit LCD screen,
1 serial, 1 parallel, internal 2400 baud modem
Ports for external CGA and keyboard
Includes carrying case

PROBLEM DISCLOSURE:
  The machine is not operational right now.  There is a short on the
  circuit board containing the power receptacle and switch.  The problem
  has already been diagnosed and the repair cost should be $230 - $250
  (including a new replacement board, labor and the obligatory new
  battery).  This appears to have been an inherent design flaw which
  took several years to show up.

I will sell the machine in its current form and leave it to the buyer to
fix; alternatively, I will have the machine fixed before sending it, but
please keep in mind that I will have $250 of repair costs to recoup.
WHEN MAKING YOUR OFFER, PLEASE NOTE WHETHER YOU WANT THE MACHINE FIXED OR
AS IS.

-----

ITEM 2:

386DX-20 motherboard (with full 386 processor, as opposed to the 386SX)
in a full size case (w/ power supply)
Comes with 2 built in serial, 1 parallel, 1 game, floppy controller,
IDE hard drive interface, 16MB capacity memory card

TO AVOID CONFUSION:  None of the following are included: memory, video
card, monitor, keyboard, drives

The computer works, no problem.  I just recently upgraded to a 486 with
a different case and transferred my memory, drives, etc. to the new
machine.

I will sell the case, motherboard, etc. as a SINGLE UNIT.  Please do
not make offers for just the motherboard, everything except a disk
controller, etc.  This one goes for all or nothing!  :-)

Oh, btw: I'll throw in a Microsoft Mouse (you get your own software...)
at no extra charge once we agree on a deal.

-----

I also have a Panasonic KX-P1124 printer that I'm considering replacing.
Although I haven't decided whether or not I'm ready to sell it, let me
know if you're interested...

-----

TERMS OF SALE:
Method of payment to be agreed upon verbally.  Shipping will be at the
buyer's expense; to make my life easier in comparing offers, please do
NOT include shipping in your offer; however, once we agree upon a price,
be prepared to incur the additional cost of shipping - using the method of
your choice, of course...  (I suppose this means, however, if you were
expecting me to pay shipping, just make me an offer for the amount you
were considering minus appropriate shipping charges...  It will all come
out the same...)

-----

HOW TO MAKE AN OFFER:
Please send e-mail to alan@acpub.duke.edu or, if that address generates
bounces, to 76470.2631@compuserve.com
Alternatively, please call 919-493-8903.

Thanks for your interest!
