Old PC junk - Zip drive, 56K modem, etc.

Post by TMD2003 »

Operation Fly By Night Away From Here (i.e. "get out of Nottingham") is in full swing and I need to trim down on the amount of junk I've hoarded over the last 18 years.

First of all, I have a 100MB parallel port Zip drive and 12 100 MB discs, including the Zip Tools and Record-It software that came with the drive originally. A fair few of these found use while I was an undergrad (1997-2001) and postgrad (2002-2006) when the university computers were equipped with internal Zip drives, but I plan to move all the data off the discs and reformat them.

I also have a 56K modem that was still working last time I used it... which was probably around 2002. I have no way of testing it now.

Would these be of use to anyone? Any retro-PC projects that might require it?

I also have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and I might still have a serial mouse somewhere, but I doubt they'd be of any interest.

If I find anything else that might be useful, I'll post it here.
Spectribution: Dr. Jim's Sinclair computing pages.
Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!
