Wanted: Low capacity HD's and/or AC adapters for TP 600's
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 12:08 am
Hi Folks. I am looking for some low capacity (between 2-10gb) PATA hard drives. I got some good deals on some old Thinkpad 600's, but none of them have HD's or AC adapters. They were sold for "parts or repair". Most of these things just needed CMOS batteries to be running again.
I would like to get a few up and running for my wifes school. She teaches pre-school aged kids and I thouhgt if I got a few running, she could set up a computer station in her class. Windows 98 should be just fine, so I don't need big HD's. I'm just going to throw on an OS to install a bunch of simple pre-school type educational games so the kids can start to learn how to do basic computer stuff without practicing on expensive computers. You know, point & click kind of stuff.
Anyway, I know there must be a bunch floating around as the higher capacity HD's are getting so cheap these days, that most older TP users must have upgraded by now. If anyone has a bunch sitting around, that would be best so I would only have to pay for shipping one package. But I am open to individual offers too. I will pay a decent price depending on the size & shipping costs.
Also, not all the laptops came with AC adapters, so I guess it can't hurt to ask if anyone has any of those sitting around either. I guess anything thats 16v and around 3amps.
Thanks everyone for looking.
