Bob
I'm telecommuting this Wednesday and can swing by Lanham or somewhere in
between later in the day. I was able to boot the workstation (vanilla
Sol10) although it's nvram battery is low (don't know the status of the
chip). It's a single proc 360Mhz system, 512MB, 2x IBM 36GB HDD. The beige
SCSI box has five Seagate 36GB drives that report fine although they've
been dormant for going on 10 years. The other drives (one or two?) in there
are no bueno.

With all of that said, still interested in taking these home?
Thanks
Joe
