I moved from Jamaica this year, got married and have a beautiful daughter. I was
in the process of converting some old HRM (payroll/time-and-attendance)code to
more web-centric/browser accessible format when all this happened. Needless to
say all those machines (x86 based) have gone the way of the dodo. I recently
acquired a DEC Server 5305 on "freecycle" with limited functionality, I am
having my SCSI disks and some controllers sent to me from Jamaica where I left
them, hopefully this will be enough to get the machine up and running. Some
additional memory would be greatly appreciated (I think it currently has 64MB),
as is I am in the process of getting it up to speed with a firmware update and
other little fixes. I really need to get operational again as I fear that my
coding skills are deteriorating rapidly. Please let me know what it would cost
to ship the memory to Florida, and if I am even considered for this "gift".

Thanks in advance.
