I have a working Zapstation that is gathering dust, and I thought
someone on the list might like to have it. It's a neat linux-based media
computer with some local history. LinuxDevices wrote a story about the
Zapstation in 2002; you can read it at
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT4964710304.html

All original hardware is included, except for the remote (it's missing)
and the RAM (it went bad so I replaced it with an equivalent stick). I
drilled a small hole in the back of the case above the PCI slot that a
wifi antenna will fit through. I flashed the motherboard with the
manufacturer's BIOS instead of Zapmedia's; this allows you to see the
POST screen and replace the Zapstation's hard drive.

You can view some photos I took of it at

Please reply to sender with your best offer.
