[NTLUG:Discuss] somewhat OT: old parts

[Christopher Baker]

I work for a non-profit. And like many, we have some donated equipment.
I am trying to identify some of the hardware (sound cards, motherboards)
and wanted to see if there are any good resources for old hardware and
how I might identify the hardware. The boards definitely need BIOS
upgrades--one of them puked when I tried to install a 4.3 GB drive just
for purposes of ghosting. Does anyone have any suggestions?

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, neither in Russia, nor
England, nor for that matter Germany. That is understood. But after
all, it is leaders of the country who determine the policy; and it is
always a simple matter to drag people along, whether it is a
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can be brought to the
bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same
in every country."  --Hermann Goering at the 1946 Nuremburg Trials
