Hi all,
As I said the other week I have a couple of machines kicking around that have been gathering dust. What follows is a list of all the things I have to get rid of, checkout this page to see what is still available before bombarding me with email ta http://www.thebowery.co.uk/hardware
All replies (if you want anything) offlist please, I'm currently in Aylsham (North Norfolk) and can deliver things locally if you pay me petrol costs, if not I will be at Syleham at the end of the month or at the City Gate meeting in Norwich next Thursday evening. Beer or beer tokens would be appreciated if you want any of this lot, but isn't essential.
* 2 copies of LinuxUser & Developer magazine, the most recent issue with Mandrake 10.1 on the coverdisc.
* AMD K6-2 300Mhz, 16MB Nvidia AGP TNT GFX card, 4GB harddisk (the disk is possibly/probably faulty), 32Megs Ram, Realtek Network card, CD-rom drive, ATX case 300W PSU.
* Celeron 433Mhz, 64Megs RAM, 6GB harddisk, ATI AGP gfx card, Realtek Network card, CD-rom, ATX Case/psu.
Both of the machines have given sterling service, but they probably have non-working parallel and serial ports due to them both being involved in a lightning strike which killed a couple of modems! (both machines should work perfectly, and have been used for some time since they were struck by lightning but have been gathering dust for the past 2 years, I have booted them in the past week and played with them a bit and they seem ok, with the exception of the harddisk in the AMD system)
(I would prefer to give these to people who will use them and run Linux (or other Free Software) on them, you can have them for free if you have no money, would like to be given beer for them if you can afford it, also would rather not give them both away to the same person, unless you are passing them onto others or going to use them for some community group etc.)
* Amiga 4000/030, 8 meg fast ram, 2meg chip, 120 Meg (ish) hard disk. Rev 11 Buster. Needs new realtime clock battery (so a bit of soldering involved), 14" Microvitec multisync monitor. Mouse, Joysticks, Games software, Blitz Basic, AMOS pro. Magazines etc. and Amiga 1200 in the deal. It can run Linux but would need an accelerator card with some kind of MMU included and you would probably want some kind of network card bigger hard disk etc. The machine boots and runs workbench and I have played games on it so I think it is ok, but it is more than 10 years old now and hasn't been used much for at least the past 6 years, also free Amiga 1200 included! I want £100 for this lot as it seems to be a more than fair rate compared with what they go for on ebay (or haggle, just let me know if you are interested)
Free bits. (again when I say free, all beer gladly accepted) If nobody wants them they will probably go in the bin in the next couple of weeks.
* Conexant PCI Winmodem, no cables, perhaps works with Linux perhaps not. Free. * Realtek 10 Meg pci ethernet card with 10base2 connector and RJ45 connector. Free. * 2 port USB header for MSI motherboard, fits into pci backplace slot. Free. * handful of 10base2 T piece adaptors. Free. * Heatsink fan combo, most likely suitable for socket A cpus (but don't quote me on that) probably noisy and not very good. Free. * 4 Floppy disk drive cables * 5 (noisy) 80mm case fans. Free. * AT to PS2 keyboard convertor
Thanks Adam
