Hi All,
just in case anyone has some obscure legacy hardware requirements, I have a (probably working) Pentium III class HP Vectra desktop machine up for grabs.
No idea how much RAM it has. No HDD.
It has a PCI USB2.0 and firewire (maybe 800) card in it and a very nice National Instruments Data Acquisition Card on an ISA bus.
Last time I used it was probably 10 years ago for some legacy data acquistion work. I have the proper hardware interface cards and hardware programming manual. From memory, linux drivers for the DAQ weren't hard to get going.
