Ancient Computer Components (SCSI) (Castle MK40)
Seagate STT38000N SCSI Travan TR4 tape drive Adaptec 2940 AU Ultra SCSI PCI card Adaptec 2904 SCSI PCI card Two SCSI cables Associated manuals and discs These were last used three years ago (under Linux) when they were working perfectly and have been stored in a warm dry environment ever since. Kindly note that it is unlikely that any PC from within the last 15 years or so will have a PCI slot to fit the Adaptec cards (nowadays PCI-e is used) so they will be useless in a modern PC. Also modern Windows versions may not support them although Linux does.

CRT Monitor (Castle MK40)
Gifted
The one on the left in the picture is a Lacie Electron 22 Blue II , on the right is a Compaq P1210. These are similar 22" flat screen very high quality monitors using the Mitsubishi Diamondtron tube - further details can be found by browsing the web. I will split them if more than one person is interested. They ideally need a decent VGA graphics card. You can instead use (very) inexpensive HDMI >VGA or DP >VGA adapters but these will likely not drive the monitors to their optimum 1600 x 1200 resolution at 85+ Hz; typically they will manage 1280 x1024 @ 85Hz or 1400 x 1050 @ 75 Hz. They are VERY HEAVY at ~ 30kg each which is more than the 25kg maximum lift recommended for a typical man. I do have them on a flat surface at waist height in my garage so transferring one to an estate or hatchback car should not be very difficult with two fit strong people. They have not been used "in anger" for two years but were working well then. Of course they are ~25 years old. I have just powered them on to check that they still start up without any problems and display the check screens shown in the picture. I will wait a little while to allow people time to see this post and respond. When replying please say when you would be able to collect. I'm always interested in hearing what someone plans to do with an item as well. Many thanks!
