I have a friend who would like to get ~ $200 for the following:

Hard/Floppy Controller w/ 1 ser. and 1 par. port
40MB 28ms drive
1.2 MB Floppy drive

This came out of a 16MHz Compaq '386 machine.  It really should stay
together as a package, since the cableing scheme between the controller and
Hard drive is "unique" to Compaq (single cable, not sep. data/control
cables).  This all has been working flawlessly for him for ~ 1 year.  He
wanted a larger hard drive, and didn't want to pay Compaq's prices, so he
bought himself a new controller/hard drive and floppy.

I have tried this in an AT clone - its AMI BIOS did not seem to recognize
the controller card.  Rumor has it that this should work ok in a clone with
a Phoenix BIOS.  Operation in a Compaq '286 or '386 should be solid, and
a downright bargain at these prices.

Please call him directly with questions/discussion.  I would be happy to
forward any mail I get in response, but other than that I won't be adding
much value by being in the middle.

His name is Casey Murphy, and can be reached at (215) 861-2929 during weekdays.
