Once upon a time, I got an IBM Microdrive. Then I lost the
Microdrive. It turns out that the Microdrive was really hiding under
a keyboard where I'm sure I looked before. But I never can find
something that is lost until I replace it. So I bought another
Microdrive. This was a very expensive way to make a lost Microdrive
show up, but I had a poor lonely z50 that wasn't much good without it.
Then I found the old Microdrive. It is past time that I can return
one of them to where I bought them. What to do? I could sell it, but
I was concerned that I could end up sending it to someone who won't
pay me.
I have decided that rather than try to sell it, I will donate it to a
developer on this list who will be able to work better with it and
maybe make X or suspend happen faster.
Please send me private mail if you would like the Microdrive. It has
NetBSD installed already. You get to pay all shipping costs.
