I have a pile of HW that I really need to get out of my apt and am
wondering if anyone has info on where to provide donations for schools
or charities?
I've got:
- Tyan AT mobo + 200Mhz PPro w/384MB RAM, Hercules VGA, and SB16Pro
w/WaveBlaster
- Abit BX6R2 mobo + Celeron 300A & 384(?)MB RAM. I think one of the
DIMMS is bad, but you'd have to run memtest86 on it to find out
which one. I also have a spare 700MHz Celeron that can into this
mobo after a BIOS update.
- Soyo K7ADA mobo. This is only 1 year old and with a bios update
can handle up to AthlonXP 1700+. However, the BIOS is totally
fried and you need to either a) get a blank chip and find a flash
burner that supports the type of flash chip (mine at work doesn't)
or b) pay soyo $25 for a new BIOS chip. This one might just end up
in the trash heap.
- LexMark z32 color printer. Not the greatest, but should be OK
for a school to let kids print stuff in color.
Speaking of trash heaps, anyone know of a computer reclying place in
town that does not ship stuff to villages in 3rd world countries for
smelting?
I'm willing to help whateve school/charity ends up with the HW set it
up if needed, the main thing is just getting it out of my place.
