We have just received the cash to upgrade our disk subsystem drastically.
Accordingly, we're going to want to unload our old stuff.  Is anybody
interested?  To go are a pair of 300-megabyte Ampex removable-pack
drives, an RM05-compatible Xylogics controller, and a pair of Dysan
certified-perfect packs.  (Also a pair of old Memorex not-perfect packs,
but what they would be good for I don't know.)

Huge, fast, sexy Winchesters they are not.  (That's roughly what we are
buying as a replacement.)  But they're respectable drives, and cheap.
Heaven only knows exactly what the retail value would be today -- $30k?
$40k? -- but we'd probably snap at an offer of $20k and think very
seriously about $15k.

Considering taxes and similar silliness, life would probably be a lot
simpler if the sale was within U of T.  Another Ontario university
would be second choice.
