I remember some months ago someone else was looking for old hardware in
order to build a system.
>From time to time I am looking for old hardware myself. Currently I am
looking to buy some nics (10M ISA are fine); Ethernet cables of any
length and any speed, even 10th of meters of < 100Mhz (with or without
the plugs); 72 pin Simms memory modules and a >= 28.8 kb/s internal
modem. If this is in the Gush Dan area I can come and pull the stuff
myself from a non functional machine.
Due to the fact that Linux run fine on old hardware, perhaps the
linux-il site might have an `old hardware for sale' database?
BTW: I would gladly accept hardware and even a fully loaded tower PC by
mail. If I am not mistaken sending up to 20 kg by mail from anywhere in
Israel is only 15 NIS. Should ask on 1 800 21-21-21. I believe the
original poster would not object to have it sent to him this way too.
