I am clearing out some of the stuff I am not using in order to gather up money to buy a 3d printer (yay). I like these items, but my use of them has gone from rare to not at all, so its time for them to find good homes so they they rot out in the garage.

Before I show the goods, here is the ground rules

I will be posting this identical thread on atariage.com and vcfed.org under the same username, and I get PM's on both sites just fine
Payment though Paypal, and payment in full
United States Please

First up is a Mirror brand SCSI hard drive enclosure, there is no hard disk, that went inside one my long gone mac's. The sheetmetal inside has mounting positions for 3.5 and 5.25 inch drives, along with a cutout for a 5.25 inch drive. The plastic is not cut out for the 5.25 inch drive but if your brave you could make it work with a CD ROM. Has 2 outlets on the back which are switched. Footprint fits under a old style all in one black n white mac.

10$ + postage

Missing hard disk caddy but disk plugs in to machine direct without adapters, needs some new caps, I started to replace them but did not have 25 volt 100uf smt caps. Onboard audio is highly distorted, external audio seems fine. Windows 95b installed with all drivers installed.

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions feel free to post them!
 
What kind of connection does the floppy drive in the "beat to all snot" computer use? I have a floppy drive from a Thinkpad 750; do you think that would work in it? What's that about "missing hard disk caddy?" Do you mean the thing inside the computer that keeps the drive secure? It would work fine from the internal disk right? Just don't move it when it's on? What's that gap on the side of it? Is just a door supposed to go there? Also, as someone with no electronics experience, do you think I would be able to use it as-is for the foreseeable future without having to finish the re-capping job?
 
Floppy is a. Standard laptop flat flex connection the problem is that is it shorter than any other drive I have seen so every one I pick up won't fit in the slot

The hard drive simply uses a 44 pin connector and the caddy keeps.it secure, as long as you get it aligned in there it stays connected pretty good

Most of the rotten caps deal with two things battery charging which the battery has not charged for like a 16 years so no biggie, and audio output, I started to replace some (thus the melty spot on the side of the case but just removing them restored the speaker output jack, internal audio is still pretty messed up... as far as life dunno it could last 6 months it could last another decade


The large gap on the side with the hard drive is missing a door, those are two pcmcia 16 bit expansion slots (not the easier to find 32bit cardbus, though pcmcia was super common until the later Pentium era laptops)

Click to expand...

I havent the slightest idea how in the name of hell the beat to snot PC runs at all but depending on shipping i might take it. Would be useful for vintage reference software and stuff i guess.
