My dear friend, bediako@sybil.cs.Buffalo.EDU (Bernard Bediako), I 
sure hope you have all the luck in the world selling the following
items.  I thought they were sort of high, so I just grabbed the 
latest issue of ST Informer, for a look-see (don't you HATE that 
word?).  I found better prices in less time than it took to read your 
ad.  I could have most of items by Monday if I ordered them a few 
hours ago when the stores were open.

- For sale:
- 
-       Z-RAM memory expansion board with 2 MEGS (socketed for 4 meg) 
-               with 80 ns 1-meg chips (made by Zubair Interfaces)
- Price: $250.00

1st Stop Computer Systems (1-800-252-2787) of Dayton, Ohio has this 
board with 2megs of RAM installed for $254.

-         Supra Hard Disk interface (SCSI) (8 months old)
-         Newest ROM software, clock, DMA, et.al.
- Price: $90.00
 
Why go with a slow Supra when you can get an ICD Avantage Plus with 
clock for $94.77 from D&P Computer Supply (1-800-535-4290) of Elyria, 
Ohio. 

-       Seagate ST-157-1 (48meg, 28ms.) (SCSI) (8 months old)
-       Has at leat 20 megs. public domain software:
-       all gnu stuff, uniterm, neodesk, quick st, flash, etc.
-       also some manuals (mail/call for specific's on software)
- Price: $350.00
 
Carter Graphics and Computers (1-801-628-6111) of George, Utah, has 
this drive for $359.  I'm sure better deals could be found in 
Computer Shopper.  No, you don't get public domain software with it, 
but then most people who see this ad can get all the PD stuff they 
want from atari.archive or comp.binaries.  Furthermore, NeoDesk and 
Flash are not PD!  Quick ST isn't either if it's version 2.0 or 
higher.

-        Atari 520ST: midi, rf modulator, etc.
-        Double Sided external drive SF314
-        Atari RGB Color Monitor SC1224
-        tilt-swivel monitor stand, teak 60 disk case full with
-        purchased and PD software and games (mail/call for info)
- Price: $400.00
 
Okay, now that's better!  That's a deal!
       
- I'll cut the total price if you buy the whole system 
-         (or at least most of the system).
- You'll have to pay the shipping
 
I am not affiliated with any of the stores mentioned above.  Not like 
Hardware Dave who keeps posting messages for people to buy stuff at 
Triformation. :^)
