I have a decent amount of old hardware around my house, and would like
to offer use of it to anyone who needs it.

Shipping old hardware is a waste of money, but if anyone wants use they
can send me instructions, or I am happy to setup some form of remote
access.

I have:
HP Netserver LH PRO:
Dual Pentium Pro Overdrives running at 333mhz each
512MB ECC EDO ram
6*5.4GB SCSI Disks
I need to get the specs for the onboard raid and scsi when I get home.
This could be usefull in anyone hacking on a SCSI system for minix3.

I also have 3 Dual Pentium 2 workstations, they also have scsi
controlers.

A Dell pentium 2 500mhz with 128MB SDRAM, IDE disk, pretty boring.
A celeron (pentium3 gen) running at 1ghz, 128mb ram, 2*128gb disks,
geforce 2
A SGI o2 (minix3 does not run on mips as far as I know, but someone
might be interested, although it seems like wasted energy)
A Apple iBook g3 500mhz, this could be usefull, powerPC is a great
platform.

I dunno how much demend there is for people interested in testing, and
older hardware, but if anyone needs any hardware specificly, send me a
mail and I'll see if I have access to it (my place of work has even
more interesting items).

So, anyone interested?
Whats the current focus of the project?

I am doing a lot of porting, so additional platforms to test on are welcome.
Where are you located? Feel free to e-mail me.

Ill take the SGI O2, and use Linux (plus ACK) to start in
cross-compiling. Ill need to rewrite lots of the C library, though, for
MIPS.

Any 486 or better laptops would be useful for testing, as my current 486
is used for linux/dos

Man, what are you calling old hardware? :-)
My fastest PC at home is a PII at 300MHz!
I used to have a 500MHz celeron, but it has recently broken down.
I am considering to make the jump to the PIII (600-1GHz).
Of course I keep my other boxes (8086, 8088, 286, 486, P90 and other
arquitectures ---mainly Sun boxes---) running several Unix-like OSs.

I can check the TV weather guru in a few minutes as that worthy often
refers to "out there".
