Some spare motherboards for testing
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2016 10:38 pm
I have several motherboards that are at my home, but currently are not being used, nor are they likely to be used be me again in the future, as I have newer hardware. I thought about trying to test ReactOS on these boards, but my setups will become very messy every time I want to do so. All but one of the boards I have available have been manufactured between 2001 to 2005, which fits the Windows XP era) So in order to do some cleaning in my house and do something for this project at the same time, I want to either give away for sell the following motherboards, preferably individually (though I'm actually motivated more by wanting to just give the hardware away rather than getting a profit):
If you need any additional hardware to go with this stuff, tell me; I have a limited amount of legacy hardware on my hands. I can give one or more of these things along with one of the above motherboards (it's up to you to supply the rest of the hardware, because I don't want to spend more money on a sinking ship (old/aging hardware); I want to follow what the future may bring (unless that entails more manufacturer-imposed restrictions on computing freedom):
This is currently the best I can do. I'm getting there on my programming skills, but it's not enough to help with this project at the source-code level. But what I can do for now is give away some of my hardware for testing purposes, without returns.
- PC CHIPS M825G, AMD Sempron CPU, VIA VT8235 chipset
- For EMachines T2042, IMPERIAL_GL_VE 20021111, Intel Celeron CPU, Intel 915?? chipset
- Shuttle AB49N, Intel Pentium 4 CPU@3.20 gHz (may be defective/ have stopped working; the board still works), Intel 945?? chipset
- Gigabyte GA-6OXET (manufactured during the Windows 98 era, about 2000), Intel Pentium III CPU, Intel 815EP chipset

- ~4 40 GB hard drives
- Some IDE cables
- Some floppy drive cables
- 3 USB PCI cards, one of which is different
- 2 Firewire/1394 PCI cards
- ~4 AGP video cards
- ~8 sticks of 256 MB DDR RAM
