Thinkpads Forum

OK, now my wife is really upset, since she has taken the time to write down the part numbers when she was cleaning...so all of this needs to go.

I honestly don't have an asking price for any of this. Throw me a bone. I'd be more than happy to get a single PC100 256Mb laptop chip for all the hardware, and whatever you can think of for the software involved. I'd be sad to throw all of this out, but if it's not gone by Sunday, it will be thrown out.

Feel free to PM me with any questions or ideas.

/me chuckles quietly. Some of this stuff is boat-anchorish enough that some wags might ask for money to take it off your hands. Red Hat 5.2 Red Hat 6 is pretty much useless enough (I have the boxed set on my shelf). Red Hat 7.3 was the first useable version.

I have had some good memories wih Red Hat.

Try ebay to "get rid of" that stuff.

Agreed.

It indeed was useless. I managed to get a barebones install onto an old lunchbox SparcStation - the LX actually - that I used as a webserver for a while after lots of patient installing. Never regreted ditching it when I had better hardware for the server.

Well, at least I'm giving everybody a good laugh so far...eBay is out of the question, since I really have no patience for deleting "questions" originating in China when I sell serious stuff, let alone when I'm cleaning my workroom on my wife's orders....the way it looks now, recycling plant on Route 903 will have quite a heavy load on Sunday morning...

If you REALLY want to get rid of all of it, I might be interested in taking it all off your hands....

Hardware sold, software still there...c'mon people...all good vintage stuff LOL)

The hardware arrived in safe and sound condition...thanks George!
