A week ago I posted these items as a "silent auction" and got no responses. If anyone is interested $25 (I pay shipping to anywhere in the US, partial anywhere else -- we'll have to discuss that after finding out cost) will get it -- the drive and components as well as the 6309. Should be a good deal -- the case w/ps would cost that much, and I'm paying the shipping!
If just interested in parts/pieces make me an offer on what you want. To recap:

HD63B09EP. I can't gurantee it to work, as I've never run it. Bought it years ago, but never installed before I got out of messing with CoCos enough to make it worthwhile. I thought about saving it, but if I do get a CoCo again I'll likely be using more DECB than OS-9, so it really wouldn't do me any good. I have a couple CoCos in storage, but doubt I'll have time to do much with them again, though I have occasionally been tempted. It's still in the piece of tubing I bought it in, and should be good. 

SCSI drive/case/cable/terminator. It hasn't been used in a while, but I have connected it to my PC and verified it to run -- a couple years ago. It's a Seagate Barracuda ST15150N. The Seagate site says its a 4.29 GB 7200 rpm drive w/ 9 ms seek time. It's in a Traxdata Pro Series 5.25" case w/power supply. Case has two 50 pin SCSI connectors, RCA jacks for sound, power cord, switch, and SCSI selector (not currently connected to drive, which is jumpered for ID 4) on the back. It's a 5.25" half height case with removeable front panel, so it can be used for a CD or anything. I think the drive is jumpered to self terminate, but I'll include a 50 pin pass-through terminator since I have one and nothing to do with it. Includes a 6' 50 pin cable and power cable. I'll ship this priority mail. 

Both items have always stored in a controlled environment (my office)
