assistant: George, Is this still Available?  Is there a manufacturer/model #?
(specificly, Is there DOS (Not WINDOWS!) driver software available?)
 At present, I'm using a Creative Technologies CT-1830 board (Creative
Technologies later became Creative Labs, Inc.) on a CR-562J drive, and I
can only access it under Linux..  Creative Labs refuses to respond on
any info for the 1830 (Only thing I found, from their FAQ, is it's a CD
driver companion for their Phone-Blaster Modem board, which could also be
used as a sound board.), and Panasonic flat refuses to help, since the
drive (a Panasonic/Matsushita CR-562J) was sold by Creative Labs, Not them.
If this board is still available, and there are DOS drivers available
still, (or, worse case, I can scout them out from the Internet),
I'm interested!  Quote me a shipping price to zip-code 06019, + Insurance.
(I'll send a money-order to you for the amount.)
 Thanks,  Stephen Griswold

      and was copied here by Rod Jessen.
Hello All!
I have a Packard Bell Intel Pentium 120 complete system to sell.
I've upgraded it to 32mg ram, has 1.2g Conner hard drive, 4x CD
Aztech sound, internal 28.8 fax/voice modem, 15" monitor, Speakers,
microphone. I have reloaded the system software that came with
it. Has Windows '95, with Service Pack 1 installed.  Comes with
a good selection of installed software, all of which install with
the master CD. Includes PB Navigator which is a tutorial and much
more.
There is nothing wrong with the system, it is clean, a little
more than a year old. It's just that now that I am no longer
running a multiline BBS, I don't need so many computers! Gave one
to my sister, this one is now ready for adoption <g>, and I'll
still have 4 systems.
I do not know what a fair price would be at this point. I'm aware
that if I get half what I paid I'll be lucky.
Decent offers considered. Please leave message here, or email at
