Followed your instructions on this one... so, hopefully....
Well, anyway, hope to help! With Beowulf, that is!
Call me at: 773-6245.... local to Wichita.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi, Jeff...
<p>My name is Steve Michels... I am a more or less silent observer of the
aclug group.
<br>I read your e-mail, and wish to make contact with you at some time
when it is convenient to discuss the resources you said you have need of.
<p>I live in Wichita, on the West side, and have a half dozen operational
machines here, in my basement, with the potential to add more from the
components that I have accumulated over the years. Four of the six machines
that are run capable (only 3
<br>are actually on at the moment - and networked) are Pentium class machines.
Two others are 486 machines, and I actually have a "token 386" or two,
myself. The Beowulf project has interested me for some time, and I would
like to contribute
<br>to this experiment with you.
<p>I have plenty of room, and much more equipment, including SIMMS that
I could indeed part with, or at least "loan" for a good project like this
one. I am currently connected via the cable network to the web, and have
dialup capability, as well.
<p>Several additional monitors, too... although they are not all real "spiffy."
Getting
<br>old, and all of that, you know! I think you may surprise yourself with
the potential
<br>of your "mini-behemoth"... hope so, anyway. May I help?
<p>Please, call me if you think we may be able to collaborate.
<p>Thanks,
<p>Steve

<p>They represent the trailing edge of technology (that linux'll run on).
<br>The Plan is to network them together and use them as a parallel
<br>processing BEHEMOTH. Or something. If they end up as powerful
as the
<br>P200 server they're going to hang off of, I'll be happy. I powered
<br>one of the 486s up and booted with a little mini bootdisk and checked
<br>the BogoMIPS: 6. I haven't looked at the token 386 yet :)
<p>And if I get one more, my girlfriend is going to kill me! (I really
<br>shouldn't ask, but does anyone have any 486s or SIMM memory for them
<br>that they want to part with? I'll name the node after you if you like)
