Greetings,

About four years ago, a very nice couple gave me, seriously, a whole garage full of parts. I took half of it away in a van packed full and have used it over the years to replace parts in my machines and my friends' boxen and build low cost computers for people who aren't well off financially. Mostly, i've been carting it with me to all the places i've moved since then. Currently, it's taking up a lot of space in my closets, most it i'm not using; however, i don't have the heart to throw it away or recycle it. This is where you come in!

Since sometimes what the piece looks like is different from what the OS says it is ;-) I took a few hours and took pictures of everything and those images are at:

http://diro.nixsys.bz/free

I had an actual typed list of items and descriptions and somehow that disappeared or only existed in my brain to begin with, so here's a recursive directory listing of the images, which have semi-descriptive names.

I've acquired more items since those were taken, like more monitors, mice, older Apple computers, etc. Let me know if there's any questions on any of these pieces.

Items are available on a first come first serve basis and priority goes to:

1) NetBSD developers with CVS commit
2) all other NetBSD developers
3) NetBSD users
4) everyone else

There's some older stuff here, some of it's not easy to find now. If you want it, you may pick it up (i'm in CT USA) or i'll ship it to you. If you want it shipped, send me enough to cover it in cash or money order. I also have FedEx airbills and i'm sure i could find other similar paperwork from other shipping companies. If you want it shipped via one of those methods, let me know what your shipping number is with that company.

Enjoy,
