Ok, I received a few interested responses, so I set
the boards aside
somewhere
safe until I get back from my trip. Will figure out
who gets what in 3
weeks
or so.
And, to answer a common question, there were no other DG parts or chassis
there. I'll have a friend who frequents the surplus store ask around and
see
if he can find out if there still is a DG on campus.
I suspect these were
either spares or pulled from the DG when it was scrapped some time ago,
and
they were found when cleaning out a storage room
(based on the types of
stuff
I found in the same bin the boards came from).
If I'm wrong, maybe we'll get lucky and the chassis or drives will show up
in
this week's surplus drop-off (and that my friend
will spot it).
