Amazing how frugal people in this group are. I have more than $40 just in 2
cables in my main machine.
Not a slam,just noticing how frugal some of you are. I'm curious what some
of you paid and drive for a car

Yeah, there is a whole wide world out there outside of yourself...come visit
sometime!

Actually the two Compaqs I also want to send my mom cost me $125 and
$140 respectively.

Nevertheless, just becaues I got the Dells cheap doesn't mean I'm
frugal.(You should see my food bill). :-)

Nevertheless, I just know a deal when I see one.

In fact I'm thinking of buying up the last two(for $80 total), just
because they are cheap. :-)

The second SCSI sytem I am building won't be as cheap though. :-0

Okay, I found a link with drivers(and other garbage) for the 5240.

I don't think it is desirable to install everything. Only the needed
software. So I put 4 stars(****) next to what looks important. But can
anyone confirm and advise me if those are correct?(See below)...
