1.325     deraadt    25: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
                     26: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
                     27: to first of all realize these reasons:

1.325     deraadt    29: <ul>
                     30: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
1.831     miod       31: <li>To be part of their development environment.
1.653     kevlo      32: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
1.741     sobrado    33:     (i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
1.325     deraadt    34:     write code more carefully.
1.831     miod       35: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.

1.1071    bentley    38: <p>
1.78      deraadt    39: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.1094    tj         40: search on <a href="https://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices.  If
1.78      deraadt    41: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325     deraadt    42: helps us.  It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
1.1071    bentley    43: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.

                     47: so directly.  Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
1.1071    bentley    48: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.
