Donation For School Wanted

Okay... I'll take the IDE cards; but then I'd need IDE HDDs. I used to have
2; but then I gave one to a friend (and their 286!) and the other ended up
going to repair another friends computer. So I'd need the drives too.... As
close to 15MB as they come....
    You can just ship 'em to me. I can pay for shipping; if you want. DO
NOT SHIP THEM TO THE SCHOOL. If it would make you feel more comfortable, I
can get the teachers address, but not yet.
    Thanks,

Tim D. Hotze
