Hardware Donation Request

Richard Gooch

28-NOV-2000

This is a request for donations of hardware. I write and maintain patches for the Linux kernel for which in some cases I have no corresponding hardware. This means I'm not able to support some hardware as well as I'd like. If you want to help out, contact me. Below is a list of some hardware that I don't have, but that I maintain patches for. In (brackets) is the relevant patch or part of the kernel that I maintain.

Removable media drives (devfs)
SCSI scanner (devfs)
ISDN interface (devfs)
Non-x86 systems (Sparc64, PPC, alpha, MIPS, etc.) (devfs)
IDE hard disc drive (devfs)
IDE floppy (devfs)
IDE tape (devfs)
Mylex DAC960 or DAC1100 PCI RAID controllers (devfs)
AMD K6-II stepping 8 or later CPU+motherboard (MTRR)
IDT Winchip (Centaur) CPU+motherboard (MTRR)

Of course, if you really want to donate something, but it's not on the list above, feel free to contact me anyway:-) An extra ultra-wide SCSI drive wouldn't go astray, and something like a quad Xeon with truckloads of RAM would do very nicely, thank you. I can assure you it would get good use (kernel compiling and visualisation).
