Hi everyone,
I came across a stack of original IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM drives from an old storage location because I needed a couple of spare ones for retro PC's and could not find them online selling new anywhere and prefer the those with an original IDE interface over an IDE-SATA adapter.
Now I have a rather large number of drives (100+ š ) and I don't intend to keep all of them (because of the space they claim and I really don't need that many on hand), so I'm looking for anyone who's interested in having some of them.
I've come to understand that they have never been used, most of them were boxed up (for over 15 years) and were at the time either brand-new or have been swapped out from brand-new computers for a different model and then got shelved. They're in good condition although some have developed a little bit of corrosion on the outside (which is understandable given the fact that these were stored in bulk in a carton box and only styrofoam) but nothing really bad.
The brands/models that I have are the following:
SAMSUNG CD-Master 48E
LITE-ON LTN-483L
MITSUMI CRMC-FX4830T
So if you are interested let me know.
