Hard Drive To Timor

Computers For East Timor has over the last 2 years sent upwards of 100
computers and related equipment to east Timor to help with rebuilding the
country and educating youth.

The project is nearing its end and is striving to send as much of the
remaining computer equipment we've collected in a final two shipments. We
have around 20 computers that are complete apart from hard drives, and thus
need to source (for free of course) more drives. Any working IDE drive of
250Meg or over will be useful. Any drive that has been used in a standard
home PC of 6 or 7 years vintage will probably be useful.

We operate with no funding so will not be able to purchase drives. (The air
force takes the equipment to East Timor. A couple of us set up working
machines in Auckland). We only operate from Auckland, so drives need to be
in that city.

If you can help please email me (stu@ihug.co.nz) or call 620 6018 (Stuart)

NOTE - complete working computers, VGA monitors and modems >> 2400 baud
will also be accepted.
