Please send John your address ;-)
Basically, John is talking about a server that has removable trays. You
screw the drives into the tray, then slide the tray into the front of
the computer. While the screws are essentially the same, these systems
were donated by Regus Office and are no longer being used. If they came
with a bag of screws they are long gone. The bottom line is that the
servers that John got did not come with bags of screws. The issue is (1)
where can John get the screws locally in North Attleboro, or (2) mail
order. There are plenty of places you can get them online. I think I
have enough screws that John can use, but I don't have time to get down
to him.
