assistant: Seagate (ST31220a) 1.2Gb IDE 3.5"/1"  (unable to access)  offer
Got a quick question for you.  Is this repairable?  If so, like where would I
go, besides Seagate to get it repaired.  I have another Seagate needing
repaired and called them.  They say the average repair runs about 79-100
bucks.  And seeing as you can get 1 gig for under a hundred, I cannot justify
sending my 630 megger in for repair.  BUT, if you think yours is repairable,
I may consider giving you something for it and shipping it off to Seagate.  I
would have to know exactly what it's doing so I can get a repair quote from
Seagate before I could make you an offer though.  Thanks for your time and
Happy Holidays!

To Jeffrey J. Counsil, Regarding Re: Computer Hardware Wan...
CGA
It "should" fit.  Most of the AT&T cases I've seen take standard AT mobo's.
You'll of course have to use your existing hard/floppy controller for your 21

Let me know what all you want and I'll give you a "package" deal..
Shipping shouldn't be too awful much to Ma. ;-)
