Hello!

I have an old machine that I want to get rid of. I didn't want to scrap it because I thought it might be useful to someone here. I can't ship it, but if you're in the Chicago region, you could pick it up.

It powers on and displays what I think are battery related error codes. The foam on the inside turned into a kind of squishy mess, so I removed what I could. I have a monitor that goes with it that has a pretty dirty casing, but it works as well. I will also include the IBM mouse. I have some of the documentation also. A keyboard is not included.

If you're interested, let me know. Thanks!



(Why are all my attachments oriented wrong?)

I'd be glad to rehome it all! I'm out in the west suburbs and available all tomorrow/monday (i.e. the 9th and 10th). If you're available, we could meet anywhere in DuPage or the vicinity! I could also try and head out your way, too, depending on where you're at - unfortunately I'm not too acquainted with inner city driving, though.

If that doesn't work out, could you meet me at VCFMW this upcoming saturday/sunday (i.e. the 15th/16th)? It's held at Elk Grove so it might be closer to you.

Out of sheer curiosity, can you tell us the full model number? Its under and right of the power switch. Should start with 8580-???. I'm curious to see what is on the inside and those three numbers/letters will tell me.

thanks for letting one of use get this machine! I wish more people were like you.

It's all yours, dude. I can't meet his temporal deadline.
 
The full model number is 8580-081.

Thanks for helping me find a place for it! I'm glad to give it to someone who'll appreciate it.

Also, thanks for being patient with my slow replies!
