Yeah, so not many people are using this kind of stuff any more, but I
figure it's worth giving them a shot before they wind up as e-waste.

Belkin OmniCube 4-Port KVM switch
For sharing a keyboard, video display, and mouse between multiple old-
style Windows systems. Includes cables and power supply.
You can see the manual here: http://www.belkin.com/support/dl/f1d094.pdf

HP CD-Writer Plus External 7200e CD drive, that connects to a Windows
PC via the parallel port (so your computer needs to be old enough to
have a parallel port). Includes parallel cable and power adapter. For
complete information on this drive, see its HP support page at
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=60147&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

A/B 9-pin serial port switch for old PCs etc.
If you still have a computer with a 9-pin serial port, you can use this
switch to hook two serial devices up to it and switch between them. Or
you can use it to share one serial device between two computers. Comes
with two male-to-female 9-pin serial cables.
