[PLUG] Free to a good home: old AdvanTech industrial computer

[Eric House]

First caveat: I'm in Corvallis, so you'd pick it up here or meet me at
PDX before a 6:00 am flight.

Second, this thing is perhaps 10 years old.  It's suitable for use as
a router, perhaps a server, or other special purpose but not as a
general purpose machine.  I used it as a router (running LEAF) for a
couple of years, until I replaced it with a PcEngines microbox that
uses enough less power to pay for itself.

What's cool is that it's small, about the size of a Shuttle, and built
like a tank.  The mainboard includes an 8M flash module that's meant
to be its main storage, but the floppy could be replaced with a 3.5"
IDE drive.  The backplane has four ISA slots in addition to the two
occupied by the main board.

Hmmm.  Turns out it, or something very close, is still available:

It's very similar to the two on the left, but does not have USB.

Free to anybody who thinks it's worth the trouble....
