If you are interested in learning more about hardware, and how to work on old computers, you are welcome to join us at 10:00 am on May 23, May 30, or June 6. Whenever we are not busy checking out new donations, we will remove some of the 286 motherboards from machines we can't seem to get to work, and we will rebuild those machines using some motherboards that were donated by members who had upgraded their machines to later 486s and Pentiums. Many of the motherboards we have do not have manuals, so if you donated motherboards to us and happen to run across the manual, we could use it. Also if anyone has any extra 30 pin SIMMs that they have left over because they upgraded to a motherboard that needs 72 pin SIMMs, we could certainly use more of them.

Also if anyone knows of legitimate non-profit organizations in need of machines, we now have in the checked out and ready to ship shelf two 286s, two 386s with very limited memory (1 or 2 meg), one reasonably configured 386, and even one 486. We have very few VGA monitors, and need to keep what we have to checkout other new machines, so we can either release the machines having VGA cards without a monitor, or we can substitute a Mono, CGA, or possibly EGA monitor. Please don't ask us to donate these machines to individuals, but if you know of schools, churches, church schools, shelters, or other non-profit agencies that can make good use of these machines, we would be happy to talk to them.
