    I shipped my two dead/unknown CMS tape units to you Friday (1/2/98) via
Snail Mail/Priority Mail.  If they work, the shipping was $4.00, if not, it's
on me (cuz you have to get rid of them then, not me.  <G>).
    One unit has a bad motor (I used it's good motor in one of my
still-working units), the other is untested.  Both are as complete as I
received them.  They were given to me as parts units, the owner was not sure
if they worked or not, he thought that they did but was not sure.  I've had
slightly better than 50/50 odds with his 'unknown' parts.  <G>
    Let me know how they turn out.

Write your reply.

assistant: Last time I owned a ATT 6300, it was nowhere near standard internally.  I
ended up swapping them to a gentleman who owned others, in exchange for parts
I -could- use.  I believe if you look, you have a serial & parallel ports
very low across the bottom on the back.  If I recall correctly, the
motherboard is made up of two boards - one mounts under and the other over.
Very strange setup.  Your model may be different, but I don't think so - its
very close to the ones I owned.
    Also, does the fan for your power supply mount OUTSIDE the chassis?  Both
mine did.  And it used a custom keyboard - no opening for a standard keyboard
plug.
    Best bet:  buy a standard mini-tower chassis (around 30-50, depending on
where you get it) and start adding parts from there.  Keep the 6300 until you
have everything you need.
    And good luck!!

assistant: About 6 or 7 months ago, a gentleman named Hank (don't recall his last
name) purchased Borland Sprint v1.01 from me.  At the time, I mailed him
all of the original diskettes and all the manuals for the program that I
could find.  Well, I found another manual and want to mail it to him.
Please respond via NetMail or Email if you're that person.  Thanks.
