What is your zip code? ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. Seth Henry" <jshamlet@comcast.net> To: <hardware@freebsd.org>; <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2003 4:37 PM Subject: Spring cleaning - hardware give-away > I have a bit of functional, but older equipment I hate to throw away, but > no longer have the space to keep. If anyone is interested, it's yours for > the price of (actual) shipping. Some of this stuff might be able to go on > eBay (and may, if no one claims any of it), but I'd rather see if any of > my fellow FreeBSD users/fans are interested first. > > 1) Old vinum disk array. Contains 11 Seagate ST32550WD (HVD differential) > SCSI hard disks, a 20MB/s HVD/LVD converter, HVD terminator, and beefy > power supply. There is a cut out for a 8" fan, but the fan has long since > gone out. However, the mounting hardware for the fan and filter remain. > > I used this in college to store MP3's, and as far as I know, they are > still on the array. > > Weighs approximately 35 pounds - I can probably be talked into breaking > this up if you don't want all of the disks, or are only interested in the > SCSI converter, etc. > > 2) 15 meter (yes, meters) HVD SCSI cable. It's long, folks. Originally I > picked this up on eBay so I could keep the above array in a different room > (for noise reasons). > > Somewhere around 5-6 pounds > > 3) CIT 224 serial terminal. Supports VT52/100/200 terminal modes, and can > operate (reliably) up to 9600 baud. 19200 is supported, but has problems. > I currently use it as a "head" for my headless server, but am looking to > replace it with an X terminal that draws just as much juice, and has a > GUI :) The keyboard is a tad yellow, but otherwise fine. It's previous > life was spent monitoring a router, so there may be some faint burn-in. > > Probably 10-15 pounds with keyboard. > > 4) Symbios UW HVD SCSI controller. I'm trying to ditch all my HVD SCSI > gear, and this is the last controller on hand. Great if you want the above > array, but don't have an HVD controller. It is supported by FreeBSD (works > great too) > > 5) Voodoo 2 3D graphics accelerator - with passthrough cable. Still holds > up for older games. I may even have the SLI cable somewhere, though I only > have the one card. > > 6) Digi Digiboard PC/4e with DB9 (male) breakout cable. This is the older > ISA version of the card. In excellent condition (was bought new), but > replaced with PCI card after a server upgrade. This board is well > supported by FreeBSD - it formed the communications portion of a home > automation controller for some time. No manuals or disks, though - long > since lost in moves. > > 7) Analog Devices SHARC ez-kit lite development kit. Comes with > development board, power supply, and CD-ROM with software. I thought I was > going to get into programming DSP's, and bought the kit - but later > decided home automation was my thing. Works great, has stereo input and > output. Great for home-made equalizers or effects boxes, though it is a > tad underpowered. > > 2-3 pounds (mostly the power supply) > > 8) Motorola MC68ICS05P microcontroller development kit. Comes with lots of > interesting stuff, including the dev board. This part is well supported by > free tools, including from Motorola. Perfect for a senior design project - > unfortunately, I've already got a MSEE, and I don't plan on using this > kit anymore. > > 9) Paralan NARROW HVD-SE SCSI converter.
