	While I'm almost positive that this will make some of you
chuckle, being absolutely broke makes me pull in all kinds of favours
to cull the local computer graveyards.

	In particular, I have managed to get my hands on a few VME
cards for my Sun4/260 and was wondering if there were or could be
drivers written for them.

	Firstly it looks like I have a couple slightly smart serial
cards.  These are 16 port VME32 cards.  They will work in both Sun3
and Sun4 systems that have VME backplanes.  I would be willing to give
someone a card if they either wrote or significantly helped me write a
driver for them.

	I also have a Ethernet board.  I don't know if I can expect it
to work or not.  I would suspect that this might be an easy one to
integrate.

	I also have a chance at some SMD disks (now you can laugh).  I
have more controllers than disks... so I could possibly give away a
controller or two.  I don't know the status of the disks, but I don't
think they're worth what it would cost to ship them anyways.

	I also have an IEEE board and a board that controls a standard
9-track (open reel) tape drive to make deals with.

Dave.
