Re: Courier Modems (Was: Landfill?
And if you collect hp. which... we do of course at SMECC so need to hear if you qall have any of this. The scanjet BW is first HP... and scanject 2c is first color scanner hp always accepting gifts of these 2. IN hp lasers 2686a first HP laser... then there is a first color laser HP too ( if you can lift it.) Would also suggest saving and we need a clean one hp 500 which was a 2886a with a bunch of bins was damn expensive so not a lot of them around compared to 2886a Office jet hp officejet ( no suffex had deskjet printer in it. was first as I remember HP Paint jet first color we need one... uses tracer feed paper. just found my old sales binder for it with all the samples etc as issued by hp NEED HP 3000 cx series II series III Model 30 model 40 etc etc etc Looking for HP VECTRA Has bizzare moue interface etc... HP 150 - WORKING OF NOT PLUS - -Looking for any AND ALL hp 150 PARTS PIECES SALES LIT POSTERS WITH MONARCH BUTTERFLY ETC...

If you turn it up, I might be interested in getting that Sony 600 RPM drive,
but I won't be at VCF East. I need one to replace the broken one in my HP logic

Let me know price/shipping if it turns up.

It would appear that there ARE people who want Vintage Generic PC Crap. Except for the scanners. The scanners shouldn't have to be regarded as (Vintage) Generic PC Crap.

Re: Courier Modems (Was: Landfill?
There's now six requests for 4 or 5 modems. And I don't yet know which specific sub-models they are I may be able to get a look at them on Tuesday or Thursday. It is likely that they all work, but I will not guarantee them, nor even get around to testing them. I have some wall warts, but not sure how many. Is anybody familiar with the firmware upgrade aspects of the different models? It would appear that there ARE people who want Vintage Generic PC Crap.
