Title: new toy
Post by: icecream-guy on June 06, 2018, 06:29:23 AM
Picked up an ASA 5520 with 2G RAM and 256MB Flash running 9.1 code for less than $100 US, including shipping.  I've been eyeing them (and 5550's) on EBay for a few weeks now, and kept getting outbid, they've been selling for a few hundred US.  Why someone would pay more than dirt for one of these is mind boggling with EOS so close. Saw a  buy now option, only a few hours old, and made the purchase.

That's a fun tool if it's what I think it is.

Very fun!

Just stash it where the fan noise won't be a problem.

Keep an eye on power counter as well. I had to give mine this week and I think I'll need to down-size the hardware a bit... :(
