I got actual hard drive modules so I'm curious as to what's stored on them.

There were two at the thrift shop I frequent but those went with the
terminals they belonged to. If I'd only known I was going to run into
this thing...

I'll see how many power supplies they got. I only saw the one, and I
left it there as well! I'll be going back next weekend.

I thought this was a pretty mundane box. Glad I got it. Seems real neat.
