[Coco] Re: Anyone interested in an external SCSI drive?

I have an external SCSI drive (Seagate Barracuda 5 GB - unformatted, 4.29 formatted), enclosure, cable (mini SCSI or full size), power supply, and terminator (though I don't recall if the terminator is needed). Enclosure has a switch to select device number. I used it briefly as a backup on a PC, but originally bought it for my CoCo years ago. Still powers up. $40 should be a reasonable price for it -- shipping included in the price in the lower 48, another $10 for Canada. If the drive doesn't work I'll refund $15 -- cables, case, and shipping would be worth the rest (but it should work -- powers up but haven't tried connecting it to a PC and accessing in a couple years). First person to contact me "wins"! I take PayPal and can take a credit card through my magazine website. PayPal is my CC provider, but you don't have to register for a PayPal account -- they just process and charge me a small fee.
