- <h3><font color="#e00000">Why do we want your old hardware?</font></h3>
- <p>
  The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
! Some of this is being requested so that developers can improve or add driver
! support for devices which are rare; other requests are for hardware that
! will improve our development environment.  In either case, we think we are
! being reasonable at asking for these devices.<p>
  
  If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
  search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices.  If
  you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
! helps us.  It's much better if our developers do not need to spend the
! time going through the bidding process, since any time saved can be
! spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
  
! Some regions of the world have a specific want list for that area.  If you are
! in one of these regions, first check to see what developers close to you are in
! need of or want to work on support for.
  
! <ul>
! <li><a href="#au">Australia</a>
! <li><a href="#n-eur">Northern Europe</a>

- <h3><font color="#e00000">Additional Notes</font></h3>
- <p>
- <ul>
- <li>In each case, please contact
- <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
- before simply shipping hardware around.  (So that we can decide where
- the hardware needs to be shipped to).<p>
- <li>As an extra incentive, Theo is willing to trade quantities of stickers
- for some of these things.<p>
- <li>When shipping over International borders, never use UPS regular service,
- because they charge incredible fees for brokerage.<p>

  <h2><font color="#e00000">Hardware wanted</font></h2>
  <hr>
  
  The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
! There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
! to first of all realize these reasons:
! <ul>
! <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
! <li>To be part of their development environment
! <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
!     (ie. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
!     write code more carefully.
! <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people
! </ul>
! <p>
  
  If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
  search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices.  If
  you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
! helps us.  It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
! since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
  
! If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
! so directly.  Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
! who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>
  
! Please be very clear as to where you are located!!  For larger items this
! can be very important.
  
  <hr>
  
! <h3><font color="#e00000">Specific developers to contact for various reasons</h3></font>
  <ul>
! <li>miod@openbsd.org and martin@openbsd.org for "older hardware" in Europe.
! <li>wvdputte@openbsd.org for shipping assistance inside Europe.
! <li>deraadt@openbsd.org for any general offers or questions.
! <li>jsg@openbsd.org for any new wireless equipment.
! <li>brad@openbsd.org for any new/rare ethernet equipment.
! </ul>
! If you do not get a response from these developers, please consider
! contacting another developer.
  <p>
  
! <h3><font color="#e00000">General device requirements.</h3></font>
! We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
  <ul>
! <li>Laptops.  These die often enough that our developers need about 2-3
!     replacements a year.
! <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
! <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount machines.
! <li>Gigabit switches
! <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available
! <li>Other devices
! <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
!     our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
!     past.
  </ul>
  <p>
  
! <h3><font color="#e00000">Specific devices needed by specific developers</h3></font>
  <ul>
