I could lend you a keyboard and mouse (I don't keep keyboards in the hardware library due to size) and a power board. I could meet you in the CBD any weekday if that works for you. https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Software-Art-Thou/ I'm attending this meetup tonight, it's free, I can bring hardware there for you. The meeting should be interesting, I think most LUV members would enjoy it. Please reply to this message ASAP if you want me to bring stuff for you to the meeting tonight. > Other things: > > - USB-to-UART (3.3V TTL-level or 5V RS232) converters > > - USB-to-USB serial comms cables with integrated converters (for > computers and serial consoles with no COM port -- to connect an Intel > NUC to a serial console emulator on a ThinkPad X230 or MacBook Pro, in > other words, to convert my laptop computer ) > > - Associated hardware such as DuPont cables, breadboards, etc LUV probably isn't the best place to ask about that.

The LUV hardware library has a Samsung USB charger with UK plug that works quite well apart from making a whistling sound (the frequency is high enough that most people in the 40+ age range probably can't hear it). I can lend you an adapter for UK devices in Australian sockets (you can keep the charger). > After I return I would send a care package+donation to LUV's hardware > library.

Assuming this is economical. Server shipping from the UK probably isn't worth it. RAM and SSDs would be, but isn't there a LUG in the UK that could make use of it? Years ago I attended the Cambridge and Oxford LUGs, they weren't as big as LUV, but helping them to grow would be good. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
