Hi Robert, i guess hardware donations are accepted but i don't know who's taking care of the 'distribution'. it only makes sense to me if the shipping costs wouldn't be too high (e.g. donate to someone living in your country). Please let us know where you are from so that we can find someone living somewhere near you.
this is for all the others here, too: i've smd (de-)soldering equipment (hot air and pencil soldering iron) and good normal soldering equipment at home. i've been doing professional smd finepitch work for 3 years..just if someone would need some mainboard or bios fixed or a piggyback dual-bios. just keep in mind that i live in germany, so it wouldn't make any sense to send something over from the u.s. i guess :) Holger
