Indeed! <br>
Seems there are many people from various sectors trying to bridge
hardware hacking (ham radio being forefront) and software hacking
(FOSS by my definition) communities. Quite encouraging. <br>

I have found homes for my Kenwood TR 7850 2m rig (for the
unfamiliar, that's VHF at 144-148MHz FM) and Brand X desktop spare.
The remaining items on the current pallet are a beloved HP 500
inkjet printer (B&W) and a Compaq Proliant "server". The
printer is "beloved" because it has worked well, even though not
quite is amazing as the HP LaserJets of old. Everything is color
these days. I hated to quit using the old reliable black-and-white.
<br>
<br>
The Proliant is a monster. And what defines a server? Well ...
this prolly fits in anyone's book. I believe it is a model 5000.
Found this picture of the same model ... <br>

It comes with an external SCSI bay (which is almost as big) and has
an "array controller". (HW RAID) So that's four SCSI slots in the
main case and another 7 in the side car. It has four Pentiums, but
lacks an intermediate power module for to run all of them, so I
never ran more than just the one CPU. (But there are four chips
with the unit, three not in their sockets.) I added RAM to push it
up to 1G (which was a lot at the time). Got it from a friend in
Houston. (Why it followed me to Columbus is anyone's guess.) He
said I am free to give it a new home. <br>
