Still looking to pay cold hard cash for the following (in no particular order):

1.IBM Industrial Series 7531 PC
2.IBM 5175 Monitor that is NIB, or Minty Clean in serial number matched box (yes a true unicorn)
3.NEC Multisync XL (JC 2001)
4.Areca Drive Probe Advanced Edition (with HW)
5.Working Seagate SCSI Hawk, Barracuda or Cheetah Drives (ideally 2 to 4 GBs) Narrow SCSI or Wide
6.MicroSolutions UniDOS card in box/complete
7.Stacker HW CoProcessor Board for the MCA BUS

Please PM or email me with any items you would like to part with. Thanks for looking.
 
How much are the SCSI drives worth to you?

Also why a Stacker MCA card if you don't mind me asking?

On the SCSI drives depends on the drive/model and capacity. Generally I get them for $14 to $19 on eBay plus shipping these days (for the 2GB Barracudas). Used to be you could get them for $10 shipped (at least the 2GB Barracudas) but everything is more expensive now. I know there are some fools listing them for $600 on eBay - good luck with that. :rolleyes: I have a number of 2GB Barracudas installed in my 386/486 systems and the Compaq System Pro and I am looking for backup drives.... I would like to get a couple of Hawk (one Narrow and one Wide in 2GB) drives so as to compare benchmarks on 5400 RPM vs 7200 RPM. The Cheetahs were only 4GB and above if I recall correctly so not so great for DOS machines but NT or OS/2 made good use of them.

As for the Stacker card I have the 8bit and 16bit and a couple of years ago while talking to Trixter about his article on compression HW boards we realized Stacker also made an MCA version. It would be interesting to see how it performed in a PS/2 80 80286 vs. a 16 bit one in a 5170 or clone 286. So mostly curiosity like most other things I have.

EDIT: I should add that I am more in need of Narrow vs Wide right now as I have a few "backup" (tested and spinrite checked) wide ones but if the price is right I never turn down a good SCSI drive ;)
