        I tried you at chris.allen@tabbs.com but encountered an error.
Anyway, I wanted to check with you about the Lion Optics 8x Cd-Rom that
you are selling with the dent on the cover.  If you still have this drive,
and it is in working condition (and not DOA) then I'd like it.  How much
should I make the check out to, and where should I send it?  Also, if this
drive doesn't work that well - which one would you suggest for a beginner
who has only a few CD's?  Thanks a lot!

Write your reply.

assistant: Ok, for the first question, the 5-pin DIN plug was the original
 PC/XT/AT type of connector. fairly large, then came the PS/2 connector,
 a 6-pin MINI-DIN, and a 6-pin SDL connector (sorta like phone connector).
 The one in question is the older 5-pin. An adaptor can be purchased to
 convert a 5-pin DIN to a 6-pin Mini-DIN, and vice versa. IF the socket is
 deep, you may need an extender to use it (I have to). I have a second
 keyboard (same model), that I am using right now, I've swapped them on
 occasion when I needed to clean the other one, so yes it does work with my
 system.
        Burn-in is where there can be an after-image when there is no
picture,
 and the remaining picture can get a little fuzzy where the burn-in is
 located. Unfortunately I no longer have a video card for this monitor.
 However you can use any CGA or EGA card to drive this monitor.
 IF you are interested in one or both, you can reach me here or via the
 Internet at BIOHAZ2784@aol.com

After piecing and parting systems, and buying stuff from on here, I have put
together a heap of stuff on, around, and in my desk.  I am listing all of
this stuff together and would like to sell it all as a lot.  I will take the
best offer on ALL of these parts and the buyer must pay shipping.
Some of these items have came out of my machine and are known to be good.
They will have an (*) in front of them.  Others have not been tested since I
have no spare time (due to chewing up most of my time with Bre and FE lol).
Intel i960 Chip (Risc chip???)
Seagate ST238R Hard Drive and Controller Card (RLL?)
US Robotics External Password Modem (4800,9600???)
Namiki Tape Backup Drive (SCSI)
Quantum PI12S ProDrive 127 Meg (SCSI)
Quantum 40 Meg ProDrive (SCSI)
*Intel 386-DX33 CPU
*Cyrix FasMath 387-33 CoProcessor
Motorola CPU MC68020RC12E (Apple, MAC???)
*4 Goldstar Non-Parity 256k Simms
4-30 Pin 8 Chip 80ns 1MB Simms
5-30 Pin 9 Chip 80ns 1MB Simms
1-30 Pin 9 Chip 100ns 1MB Simm
*Intel 486-SX33 Cpu
*4-3 Chip various speed 1 MB Simms
There are other items that will be thrown in.  I have no clue as to what
these items are.  One is a funky motherboard that is not standard as far as
having ISA slots, etc.  Others are chips that appear to be oversized memory
chips and have chips on both sides and a 386 processor on one side!  Weird.
Never seen em before.  Also, some 78 pin memory chips.  Once again, never
seen em before.  Possibly IBM Proprietary.  Don't know.  Lots of extras.  I
want em all gone so I can regain my desk area.  Lemme hear some offers and
try to make it worth my while to package all this stuff up and get it off to
ya.  Thanks in advance.
