I have contacted D-Link about donating a DSS-16+ Desktop Switch and Linksys
about donating an EtherFast II 10/100 16-port Switch.
The Linksys switch has an expansion slot that I think would be large
enough to transplant the CerfCube's internals into. The D-Link switch
does not have an expansion slot, but it is quite tall and therefore
probably has a lot of extra room inside of it.

Needed: 10/100Mbit Switch |

As mentioned below, I am looking for a 10/100Mbit ethernet switch for
use in this project. It would be good to have a large one so that the
circuit board inside of the CerfCube could be transplanted directly
inside the hub. This eliminates the need for an extra physical device
to build the cluster. And it would be cool.
See this product as an example of what I am looking for.
So, if you or somebody you know may be able to donate a (preferably
Linksys or 3Com, but anything in a large case really) 10/100Mbit
16-port ethernet hub/switch, please contact me. Thank you.

Client Linux System Created |

A tiny linux system has been created for use as the "worker" machine's
linux distribution. It is composed of a heavily-modified ttylinux married to a Linux 2.4.16 kernel with the
OpenMosix patch. It seems to boot fine, though I have not built
the user-level OpenMosix tools. It will be available for download soon.

The Microdrives donated by IBM just arrived today! Each one is 340
megabytes and they each come in a nice plastic case along with a
PCMCIA adapter. Both appear to be in fine shape and work just fine.

IBM has
offered to donate two 340-megabyte Microdrives for use in this project. This will allow
me to have more than the standard 16 megabytes of flash memory for two
whole linux distributions. Thank you IBM!

The cube has arrived! Everything seems to be in working order, though
the documentation is a tad out of date.
