GEORGE'S "I WANT THIS OUT OF MY WORKROOM SALE" VAR

[ajkula66]

OK, now my wife is really upset, since she has taken the time to write down the part numbers when she was cleaning...so all of this needs to go.
HARDWARE:

- thinkpad dock II (2877)- good physical condition, doesn't power on
- IBM battery unknown series and condition, presumed dead, p/n 44G3740, FRU 44G3811
- IBM battery for 770 series, presumed dead, p/n 02K7019, FRU 02K7019
- IBM 3.5" Floppy Disk Drive p/n 05K8973, FRU 05K8990
- IBM external battery charger 85G1526, FRU 85G1530
- 2 T23 heatsink/fan assemblies 08K7366, FRU 26P9166
- LCD cover, bezel and hinges for T2x series, good to very good condition.

SOFTWARE:

- MS Word 6.0 on FDDs with books, unopened, unregistered.
- Linux Red Hat 5.2, unopened, unregistered.
- Linux Linspire 5.0, "live" CD + "no nonsense" guide book

I honestly don't have an asking price for any of this. Throw me a bone. I'd be more than happy to get a single PC100 256Mb laptop chip for all the hardware, and whatever you can think of for the software involved. I'd be sad to throw all of this out, but if it's not gone by Sunday, it will be thrown out.

Feel free to PM me with any questions or ideas.

/me chuckles quietly. Some of this stuff is boat-anchorish enough that some wags might ask for money to take it off your hands. Red Hat 5.2 Red Hat 6 is pretty much useless enough (I have the boxed set on my shelf). Red Hat 7.3 was the first useable version.

Red Hat 7.3 was the first useable version.

I have had some good memories wih Red Hat.

Try ebay to "get rid of" that stuff.

Agreed.

It indeed was useless. I managed to get a barebones install onto an old lunchbox SparcStation - the LX actually - that I used as a webserver for a while after lots of patient installing. Never regreted ditching it when I had better hardware for the server.

Well, at least I'm giving everybody a good laugh so far...eBay is out of the question, since I really have no patience for deleting "questions" originating in China when I sell serious stuff, let alone when I'm cleaning my workroom on my wife's orders....the way it looks now, recycling plant on Route 903 will have quite a heavy load on Sunday morning...

If you REALLY want to get rid of all of it, I might be interested in taking it all off your hands....

[ajkula66]

Hardware sold, software still there...c'mon people...all good vintage stuff LOL)

[tfflivemb2]

The hardware arrived in safe and sound condition...thanks George!
