1.90 deraadt 19: <h3><font color=#e00000>Why do we want your old hardware?</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 20: <p>
21: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
22: Some of this is being requested so that developers can improve or add driver
23: support for devices which are rare; other requests are for hardware that
24: will improve our development environment. In either case, we think we are
1.78 deraadt 25: being reasonable at asking for these devices.<p>
1.1 deraadt 26:
1.78 deraadt 27: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
28: search on <a href=http://www.ebay.com>EBAY</a> for the devices. If
29: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
30: helps us. It's much better if our developers do not need to spend the
31: time going through the bidding process, since any time saved can be
32: spend on improving OpenBSD instead.

38: <li>In each case, please contact
1.1 deraadt 39: <a href=mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org>Theo de Raadt</a>
1.2 mickey 40: before simply shipping hardware around. (So that we can decide where
1.90 deraadt 41: the hardware needs to be shipped to).<p>
42: <li>As an extra incentive, Theo is willing to trade quantities of stickers
43: for some of these things.<p>
44: <li>When shipping over International borders, never use UPS regular service,
45: because they charge incredible fees for brokerage.<p>
