[SunRescue] HELP! Sun 386i Hard Drive Problems <Again>

[G W Adkins]

I have a complete 386i (roadrunner) with expansion chassis (second hard disk
and tape drive) with all necessary cables, keyboard, monitor, 2 sets of
original Sun install media (4.0.1) + upgrade media (4.0.3) in Maryland.

Free to loving home.

Available for immediate pickup.

George
