Parts For Discontinued Hardware? 9
barbaBob asks: "Where to get parts for discontinued hardware when the vendor itself is not an option? I myself am currently looking for parts for an Apple Network Server 500/700 which are harder to find than most, especially in Europe. It amazes me that there seems to be no sites dedicated to this kind of stuff, and no ways of finding it except for keeping an eye on the hardware section at eBay or calling/e-mailing used hardware dealers. Anyone got any pointers/suggestions? (For Sun/Alpha equipment, this Slashdot thread might help)."

I really oughta formulate my posts a little better. The main thing was the idea of a kind of hardware exchange, not the ANS itself...
Thnx tho!

ok... I can't think of any more right now. too early.
<rant> ok, so who thinks that an ask slashdot entitled "Porting Apple Newton Apps to Palm?" should have made it into slashdot. Sorry, but I personally think that should have made it in much easier than this one did. Shit, this guy obviously didn't use everything (maybe anything) at his disposal. I've searched MANY search engines, read newsgroups, and my post didn't make it in. </rant>
My father instilled in me that he was always there for me (as Ask Slashdot is), but until you've done everything you can in your power to figure out the problem, don't waste other people's time.
universities are where to get all that stuff! (Score:1)
Just my 2 cents.

Some people actually do proper research first. Since I have been searching for a little over four months I thought I'd try Slashdot as a last resort before I consider throwing out the damn thing. I don't need another table...
So if anyone got one of those ANS's left, let me know. Or if you're interested in the parts that do work (power supplies for example).
And if someone has some pointers as an answer to the actual question...
Cya,
