That was me - both are still available.

The drive is something like 270MB - I believe it's formatted for MDFS -
I'll check this out tonight and verify it. I believe it has a copy of V2
of the MDFS software on it, pretty much freshly installed.

The slice once contained a tape streamer and as such there is no PSU in it
- the power lead has a "BBC Style" disc connector on it. It has the plate
at the front that says "SJ Research" but it doesn't have either of the two
black "blank" plates.

The above hard drive was somewhat hacked into what was the streamer
"bracket" to hold it in the slice (or was, its still in the backet, but
the bracket isn't in the slice).

I'd allow at least £10-£15 for posting them (the slice is a lot of
metal!). I was really just after covering costs and a bit of "beer money"
for this.

Cheers
