[The Computer Hardware Technician] Re: Dead Sony Drive Computer specs

 

If it's that old then it's definitely time to retire it, and put it up for sale. I'm sure that someone would be willing to pay what it is no longer worth; there are people who would value it as the antique that it is.

BTW, if you wish, and if you're willing to pay for shipping, I'd be glad to donate a far better box for your use, for free!
