Hey, all,

     Funny how being unemployed and trying to clean up your house can move
you to get rid of neat toys, either in trade for other neat toys, or
pieces of paper with dead people's faces on them, but I have to get some
of these things out of my workroom:

Free[1] To Good Homes:
----------------------
     2x Sun 16MB 200-pin DIMMs (Sun barcode 501-2273)
     1x Sun TGX (TG4? Maybe?) sbus frame buffer.
     2x Adaptec ISA SCSI host adapters (1x 1510, 1x 1540a)
     1x Storageworks SE<-->DIFF SCSI bus converter
     1x Sun GDM20D10 with a broken base and slight sync problem --
        It works (or, worked the last time I tried it) fine when it gets
        relatively hot.  When it's cold, the picture wiggles left and
        right.  It's probably just a cap, but I'm paranoid about shocking
        myself silly.  The swivel portion of the base is missing, but I
        ran it for quite a while with a cloth under the tilt-support and a
        short stack of books under the tube housing.
     1x ISA Monochrome display adapter + Monitor
  lotsx 3c509b ethernet cards (thinnet and thicknet only)
  lotsx 1MB 9-chip (and some 3-chip) 30-pin SIMMs.  Most are 70ns, some
        are 80.
     1x -old- (circa late '70s, early '80s) Sperry serial daisywheel
        printer.  Wide format, with the envelope hopper/cut-sheet feeder.
        I have no idea whether this works or not.
     1x Oddball 13w3<->13w3 connector.  It may work on a SPARC; it may
        not.  All I know is that it doesn't work on my SGIs.

Otherwise available:
--------------------
     1x Sun RSM-219 disk shelf (7 bay) with dual power supplies, 4x
        Seagate ST15230WC, and 3x Seagate ST34371WC discs.  Canisters are
        included.  Rackmount kit is not included.  $150.
     2x USR Courier v.Everything external modems.  Best damned modems on
        the planet, and they work with anything RS-232.  Both do v.90, one
        makes a little hiss noise, but otherwise works great.  $40 each.

If you're in the Austin or Houston[2] areas, and we can work out a time,
I'll deliver it to you (so that you don't have to drive all the way out
here to BFE).  Otherwise, I ask that you pay shipping via your courier of
choice.

[1] I won't turn down interesting trades or cash-offers, but I don't want
    to quibble over money for this piddly stuff.
[2] Houston's not nearby, but it's a convenient excuse to visit my buddies
    at Rice. :)
