Wanted: EIDE Hard drive

[Ryeker]

Looking for any size EIDE hard drive, bigger than say 200MB. Just need to be able to install a base distro and mount some NFS shares. Maybe a trade? Got some stuff lying around, tell me what you need.

Thanks.

Vesa Local Bus, the extended ISA slots?

like an ISA slot with an extra piece.

except that second picture is supposed to be next to the first, i can't make it show them one after the other on the same line :(

do you want to trade?


oh, i guess it just depends on the screen showing it, i am at work with 1024x768 and it looks right, hmmm... guess i will have to get that new 19" monitor ASAP :D

How about:

WD Caviar 850MB HD (I got three of them)
WD Caviar 1.2GB HD
IBM 540MB HD

Take your pick.

Linuxwannabe, how much do you want for the 1.2GB? Looking for cash or a trade?

I have various sizes from 2.1 GB to 3.4 GB to 4.3 GB. And also I have 1.7 GB Quantum drive which is brand new. How much you want to pay? I'm looking at about 40 bucks for Quantum drive but about the same for those bigger drive but Maxtor.

You need 486 with VESA? :eek: heheh JKD :D

I have dual P 60 MB which has only VESA slots. This thing is an accient server which I got free from my work. I still have CPU board, CPU and a brand sparking new VESA to SCSI card still in the retail box. If you even want the Chasis, I have two server Chasis but it will be a ***** to ship them if not locally since this thing is hella heavy. I was going to test with it but never got around to it. I will sell all those stuff. Make me an offer with or without Chasis. If you want to see the photo, I can make you one. Please drop me a line.

i just pulled a amd 486dx4-100 vlb board out of an old pc to use for my firewall/gateway. it had a promise cacheing hd controller that i took off it, since i am running a floppy based firewall/gateway (http://www.coyotelinux.com). hate to see that controller (w/16mb of ram) just sitting in a box :(

i will think about it, dual cpu might be fun to try out, i have some space in my new house for more cpu/pc's. i stick them in my ceiling :D
