Personally, I seem to have a thing for collecting old hw myself (mostly mips64 these days) but there are others who might also be good/better recipients for 'abandoned' hw both in the open and netbsd teams for which this is still an ongoing interest. I shall now return to my lurking on this list and back to sniping mips-hardware on auction sites.. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
