Hi, All,
A friend of mine who repairs and recertifies equipment occasionally
runs across interesting hardware. He has an NCD ThinStar 300 WinCE
thin client box that he was planning on scrapping (for the PSU, the
metal, the PCB, the CPU, etc) but I thought I'd ask if anyone has
enough interest to offer something for it to cover shipping and the
time to pack and ship it. I'm told it works.
Internally, it's some flavor of Pentium with a passive heat sink, a
couple of PC-100 SDRAM DIMMs, a Crystal Sound audio chip, and some
flavor of Ethernet. I found a manual on the NCD site with little
effort.
Anyone interested? Make an offer and I'll pass it along. It doesn't
have to be an outrageous offer, just enough to make it worth the time
to not strip it for the PSU and a small amount of electronic recycling
value.
