Besides m68k, snapshot.debian.net maybe also have some use for these disks (but AFAIK the server is in Japan). You can also mail [1]Hardware Donations Coordination, they can help find a destination for these disks. i18n server probably will need some space in a near future. 1. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There are also some other Free Software Projetcs in [*]Brazil and Latin America that could use that (BrOffice.org, the Brazilian name for OpenOffice.org due to trademark issues; FLISOL -- Free Software Latin American Install Festival).

Exporting them would have to be investigated. Oddly enough if you had posted this a bit earlyer, one of the US folks who will attend Debconf (this year in the UK) could have brought it with them. This would make it easy to directly give it to many folks who are part of Debian. Although it may still be possible, if it is done in an extreamly timely manner, as Debconf is June 17th-23rd.

The m68k port is nearly always in need for SCSI replacement disks for their ~20 m68k buildds. Some boxes just have 9 GB drives for multiple chroots, which causes some build failures from time to time because the disks have no free space anymore. One buildd is currently down because of SCSI disk problems as well. So, the m68k port has the need for some larger disks, especially when those disks are usuable with a standard 50 pin SCSI cable. It would be nice if you could send us one or more disks. Stephen Marenka is located in the US while I'm located in Germany (as most m68k buildds as well).

As shipping may be a consideration, in the cost-benefit analysis, it may be useful to say where in the world you are, in a general way, so that someone in the area, who could use them, could reply. -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System| go to counter.li.org and | | `-http://www.debian.org/ |be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |___ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed ___| pgp2UP3scD5p8.pgp Description: PGP signature
SCSI drives for donation
