Got two nice packages via UPS today. Two SCSI CD-ROM towers with an Ethernet link. They supposedly had five 4X SCSI CD-ROMS each in them.

I opened up the first one to discover five new 40X SCSI CD-ROMs. This made my day, as the price I paid for the entire set would be less than one 40X CD player.

I opened up the second unit to find it has five 12X SCSI CD-ROMs, a 40X CD-ROM that was behind the faceplate and could not be accessed without removing the blank cover (I guess as a backup), and a 9Gig SCSI hard drive.

At this point I thought I was in retro tech heaven. Then I opened up the trays of the CD-ROMs. I now have an original Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD, an original Win2K Pro CD, a set of Mopar Parts Catalog disks (only given out to Mopar parts dealers), and two music CDs - Dido's No Angel and Steely Dan's Citizen CDs.

That's the best return on $28 that I've seen in a very long time.
