1.325   ! deraadt    21: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
        !            22: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
        !            23: to first of all realize these reasons:
        !            24: <ul>
        !            25: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
        !            26: <li>To be part of their development environment
        !            27: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
        !            28:     (ie. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
        !            29:     write code more carefully.
        !            30: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people
        !            31: </ul>
1.1       deraadt    32: <p>
                     33:
1.78      deraadt    34: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.228     jufi       35: search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices.  If
1.78      deraadt    36: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325   ! deraadt    37: helps us.  It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
        !            38: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
1.258     david      39:
1.325   ! deraadt    40: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
        !            41: so directly.  Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
        !            42: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>

1.325   ! deraadt    44: Please be very clear as to where you are located!!  For larger items this
        !            45: can be very important.
