      From: ohland@charter.net              Floppy bezel and floppy drive most likely incorrect, 56/70 vibes?       Single 5.25 bay no bezel, but those fit in a small USPS package.       Frame bezel on front looks tight, it's not pushed out like it would be       if it was damaged.              Internal cables?              Can we get some more Danish tool p0rn to look at? Feelthy-feely invasive       pictures that leave nothing to the imagination?              Outside looks clean. Czech the battery holder for corrosion.              What is good: SCSI2SD what version? That is worth 50 or so by itself.              Where you will need to come up with parts:       2.88MB 3.5 inch floppy (non-star) these have the dust shield       3.5" floppy bezel       Interior cables? SCSI, drive power?       HD sleds?              IBM spent a lot of time on airflow, for adapters, drives, and memory.       Missing bezels allow ingress of air in wegs IBM did not intend. Won't       ruin the 95, but it will be a consideration if/when you add upgrade CPUs       to a complex, or stuff all the slots, or find a Type 5 (RS/6000) card       that you wandt to try.              I'd suggest getting a slight adjustment to the price. It doesn't look to       be a clapped out, abused system, there are good parts in it, but the       floppy thing needs to be fixed later, and that will cost 10-15 US, no       idea of the floppy installed, add another 15 or so, I'm just looking at       shipping. By the time you add the usual (and correct) equipment, I'd       guess 325.              The OP might have stuff in a pile (it happens). Root around for the shiny...              I got slot fillers, drive power cables, a few floppy cables, bezels, but       shipping over the pond will be (guessing) 20 or so US, maybe more.       Really helps when the US Mail pays to ship cheap Red Chinese crap to the       US, but loots US citizens trying to mail stuff to friendly nations...              Carsten Lyng wrote:       > torsdag den 27. april 2023 kl. 04.55.36 UTC+2 skrev Louis Ohland:       >> What flavor of OS will you be looking at installing on this 95?       >       > Hi Louis and Pertti,       >       > Thanks for all the info on the machine, I can see that there are some things       I have to checkout       > before "maybe" making a purchase :-)       >       > I will get some more details about he machine from the seller       > I have only got this picrure off the machine... you can see it here.:        https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dBXmlRLZ_GIJYHU9oYTAwM-B       jwcsVcz?usp=sharing       >       > The seller writes.: It is very heavy, and is not going to be shipped - you       have to make a local picup :-)       > The machine was working, when it was put in storage some years ago - it can       be tested upon purchase.       > but you have to carry it up to my flat first :-))       >              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
