Got another call from my friend that deals in scrapmetal. big huge pile of all manners of PC stuff to go through for anything.
grabbed my two car radiators and dropped them off and in, along with some computer scrap. picked up another computer for someone, etc.
What it looked like when I got there:
What it looked like when I left:
What I walked away with:
(Yes, that's a Quantum Snap! server 1000 in the top right of the box! dunno if it works. nifty IP camera that goes for US$100 on Fleabay as well.)
So while I was going through, friend and his cousin of whom is a local EMT are talking about stuff and they mention that I know model numbers up the wazoo of things, and that with me, I get excited over really nice things or really old things.
he was saying that as I picked up one of those nylon reusable shopping bags with this bad boy in it.... and upon doing quick testing of it when I got home (I was in a rush), it works. how well it works is another story.
Keyboard is about as stiff-feeling as you'd expect it. the ghosting lines on the screen possibly means I need to re-cap it, right? or were they always that bad? brightness/contrast adjustment helps very little.
it also came with the SCSI floppy drive and the proper AC adapter, thankfully. I may just do some stuff to this; I have an in-pieces duo 2300c...
