Actually, I think I'll go for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Proliant-DL380-G5-2x-Quad-Core-Xeon-2-66Ghz-32… Could probably run a few FreeAXP / PersonalAlpha instances on that too. sampsa On 23 Jan 2013, at 04:03, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On 22 Jan 2013, at 21:00, sampsa at mac.com wrote: Guys, I've decided to move out of the UK but will keep all the machines in area 8 running by renting a 1/3rd rack from a colo provider.

I've got two in my bag. They aren't big. They never get disconnected from the blue Cisco console cables either. Doesn't add much really. Not really sure what the issue with them really is. (Other than they always come up as a different COM port every time you plug them into windows which is pretty irritating.) -brian On Jan 18, 2013, at 20:45, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> wrote: On 01/18/2013 08:36 PM, Brian Hechinger wrote: and that USB<->serial adapters don't work well (wrong) Try telling that to Cisco. Their new devices come with a USB port instead of a serial port for console. Wanna know what it is? It's a USB<->serial adapter built into the device. :) That was smart! It's not a matter of them not working well, though, I'd bet...it's more a matter of techs complaining about having to carry around something else. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Of course, that'd be a way to make use of them.
