Oh, I wish you could see the boxes of junk I have. Would you believe an
old 120MB hard drive? Yep, it was top of the line in its day. I got a
386SX board in a box if anyone wants it. ;o) This computer I'm looking at
is turning out to be quite a dinosaur too. Just checked the hard drive.
Seagate Medalist Pro 2520 (2.5Gb) so, I think the ole 200Mhz might just
work out fine for her. I'm gonna stick a Diamond 4MB video card in it and
floppy drive and see if it will boot up to a floppy. Then we'll go from
there.
Darn, I gotta get rid of this old junk! ;o)

If you really get longing for the old days, I can send you some of my old
double spaced 10meg MFM or RLL drives. God only knows why I still have them.
Perhaps during the summer I can strip all conceivable spare screws and connectors
from them and ditch them and the cases. I've gotten marginally better over the
years; don't think there's any more 13" green monitors in the attic...
Last time I talked someone into taking one of the 10meg drives was over 10
years ago when I ran a BBS. Two kids across town wanted to run doom. Turned
out they had a dual 5½" 360K drives and no hard drive...
