with this i never understand, that card distributors or creators do not provide bigger systems like free&#x2F;net&#x2F;openbsd, ubuntu, debian with cards for testing and implementation.<p>i would think the benefit of selling more cards is bigger than a few of this cards, no?

I may have some useful hardware sitting around here at the house. Some of it may be 20 years old. How can I tell whether any of it will be useful to this project?<p>I have cards, dongles, etc.<p>I am in the US but I would like to assist this project if I have any useful hardware to contribute.<p>OT: I also have obsolete equipment such as keyboards and maybe docks for dead tech like Handspring Visor, Palm devices, various obsolete data storage devices, SCSI components, old graphics cards, network cards, sound cards, RAM from PCs bought at least 15 years ago, an original Mac128k converted to 512k with printer and external floppy drive, and lots of cables for lots of things.<p>What do y&#x27;all do with stuff like this?

Huh. So I wonder where my box of original PCMCIA wifi cards from 2000 went? You know, that first batch of cards that were commercially available?
