Free PC's

[JRL]

A Robotics teacher I know game me some free PC's and other things.

AMD Duron 800 MHz system (two HDD's, 256 MB of PC-100)

Celeron 633 MHz system (one HDD, 64 MB stick)

Boxed Diamond Multimedia 2 MB ISA video card

ISA WinModem

ISA joystick port card

ASUS AGP video card

Soyo PS2 keyboard

Bag of 30-pin SIMMS

Bag of 72-pin SIMMS

2 GB and 6.4 GB IDE HDD's

Motherboard drivers and manuals for both PC's as well as the Soyo Pentium III that he had given me earlier.

He also mentioned that he had a 486-based ThinkPad as well as a HP OmniBook 600.

Cool, the 2mb boxed ISA card is a great find. What chipset does that have on it, or what is the model number?

 

[JRL]

It has a Cirrus Logic chipset.

That AMD machine would make a great FreeNas box to serve Macs and PCs over ethernet or serial with a capable bridge. Nice finds

Turns out that the "game port card" is an ethernet card with AAUI and BNC!

Also, I found more in the parts box he game me:

Iomega Ditto Easy800 tape drive

Power cord

AAUI to RJ-45 adapter!

AAUI is an Apple standard. You're thinking of AUI I assume.
