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. Mounted in a 5.25" chassis, it allows you to attach normal narrow SCSI devices to a HVD SCSI controller (or vice versa). It is presently configured to terminate, but this can be changed with jumpers. More stuff may be dredged up as I finish Spring cleaning, but that's it for now. First come, first served - and remember, all you have to come up with is shipping. I'd just like to see this gear end up in the hands of someone who could use it. Later, Seth Henry
