[SLUG] Free, as in hardware, not beer

More free hardware from my garage clean out.

Some items are Linux compatible. Some aren't. And some don't care.

1. NetGear WR814v2 wireless router, like new, but flakes out when
    it gets hot, likely a thermal component, well suited to projects inside
    the Arctic Circle or large freezers.

2. Qty 2 Xircom CWE1120 802.11b PCMCIA Wireless Card, 40 bit
     These are OEM versions of the excellent Cisco/Aironet 4800/340
     30mw output. Superior receive sensitivity. New in OEM white box.
     These play well with the Linux Aironet4800 drivers, though you
     may have to setup a symbolic link in some systems (consult google).
     You can use these with Windoze by downloading drivers from Intel
     (who bought Xircom) or by forcing Aironet 4800 or Cisco 340 drivers.

3. Cidco MailStation DETI-01 Has a cute keyboard with 8 line display.
    Makes dial up call, initiates ppp and will retrieve mail via pop3
plus send
    via SMTP relay. Text only, but it works fine and is not difficult to
program.

4. Yamaha YST-M10 amplified desktop speakers with power supply
     work well but the front cloth is somwhat dirty. Not as loud as a Pink
    Floyd Concert, but then again, what is...?

5. One plain old 2500 type desk telephone set. Works fine and since it's
    an older model, if you drop it on your foot, you'll limp for the
rest of
    day. These are touch tone. May be a bit dirty or faded. Think
    I've got more than one of these plus a good brown 2554 wall set.

6. Sony STR-D515 Stereo Receiver. Looks new, but has one channel
    out, probably the final amplifer module because I get audio at the
jacks.
    I'm told this is not difficult to repair with a generic replacement
module.
    Or use it with an external amp and you'll be fine. I think I have the
    correct remote for it here someplace, too.

Rules: You pick up here at my house in Lutz, off Livingston, not
far from USF and Bearss Ave, day or eve. Free beer is optional.
Take more, not less, really prefer you'd take it all.
Not responsible for additional items that I throw in your trunk if
you leave it open and turn your back for a moment.

I've also got a TV and Ikea Chair on craigslist cheap.
Plus lots more on Ebay (search on seller macyh)

More to come.
