Linux Sparc Boxes - freebie and selling

by john＠stoffel.org

Guys, I've got some Sparc Classics with RH 6.1 pre-installed. Mostly they have 1-2gb disks with 32-64mb of RAM, builtin ethernet, SCSI, video. I've also got keyboards and mice to go with each one. I'd like to get rid of these from the garage finally. So I'll be raffling off one tonight at the meeting, and I'll bring others for those who want to pay $40 one. I think I have 8 for sale, maybe more, maybe less. I'll give you money back if it doesn't work out of the box. These suckers make nice home servers, and it's easy to addon extra storage, etc. They all worked just fine when booted and installed over the network not too long ago. Sorry for the late notice, and if I have any left over afterwards, I'll bring em back next time as well. Please send requests to 'john(a)stoffel.org'. Thanks, John

John, I can't make it to tonight's WLUG meeting. However, I'd like to buy two of these (@ $40 each) if we can make other arrangements for pickup. Depending on where you live (or work), I can probably come by your house (or workplace) sometime in the next week or so.

Re: [Wlug] Extra Hardware

by Theo Van Dinter

Since everyone else and their close family members are giving away hardware, I wanted to make sure I offered the stuff I have available ... We're in the midst of cleaning out our apartment and have software, hardware, books, magazine, etc. I'm planning to be at the meeting on Thursday (8/16), so if you want any of this stuff let me know and I'll bring it down. :) (if you aren't at the meeting but want some stuff, let me know anyway and we'll work something out...) There's too much for a listing here though: http://www.kluge.net/~felicity/items.html -- Randomly Generated Tagline: signal(i, SIG_DFL); /* crunch, crunch, crunch */ -- Larry Wall in doarg.c from the perl source code

Speaking o' which.... I have 4 2.4 gig scsi drives in enclosures. Most have centronix connectors. I have some cables too. They are about to be donated to goodwill, but I will hold them till this month's meeting if someone wants them. Let me know by cc'ing to ghostis(a)myrealbox.com; my procmail filter is on the fritz so your wlug reply may get lost in the shuffle. I also have an axpci alpha board with cpu & memory in a case, but I don't know if anyone would have a use for those things anymore... -Adam On Sat, 11 Aug 2001, Brian Niece wrote: > It is with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement: > > After seven enjoyable and educational years, I am shutting down my last > Linux computer.
