assistant: Yes I do still have these.  Do you have an e-mail address?  I estimate
that it will be $10 each for shipping to California by UPS ground.  Let
me check before giving the final price for shipping ( unless you can
think of a cheaper way :) ).  That would make it $190 total.  Let me
know.  You can contact me at molinellire@juno.com, here or at my Fido
address of 1:2619/172.  Payment would be by Postal Money Order ( or you
will have to wait 2 weeks for a personal check to clear before I ship ).
Guarantted no DOA.

assistant: The 3 Quantums were OEM drives in Compaq Computers that were used for
about 6 Months then were swapped for larger drives when the Company went
to NT.
The one WD is a Caviar 31000 dated Aug 9, 95, That has some Fair usage
on it. Was not used on a BBS but was used in my Development Machine.
The other WD is a Caviar 21200 Dated Nov. 22, 96 and has very little
usage on it.  It was bought new for use in my Kids machine.
The WD's have no bad sectors, The Quantums do not either. All I did
with the Quantums was install and Format them to make sure they were
OK.
