They are here,
too... under 200MB, anything is about a dollar
or a euro :)
Errr, here in O-hi-a the XT clones start at about $50
and go
up from there,
Damn! Remind me to stash my suitcases with old hardware next
week, when I fly back to California! They sell P2/450 machines
(complete machines, not just the mb) for EUR 99 here :)
Regarding a solution: yes, I agree sticking in some network card
and dd'ing it off to an NFS or Samba box makes sense... that is
how I did a lot of that stuff.
A friend of mine (Robert Stockmann) made a toolkit that basically
allows you to do this - its'called the Crash Recovery Kit (CRK),
and its based on Linux. See www.crashrecovery.org for info,
or email him at stock(a)stokkie.net. Its also running with
diskettes, so your old peasees dont need to have a CDROM.
