I gave away my 5000/240 to another NetBSD user years ago.  5000/200 went
to a local recycler along with some 3100s and 2100s.  (some may have
been saved.)

I still have a 2100 I can't quite bring myself to get rid of.  it takes
almost four days to build the 1.4.3A world (from 1.4.3A), and I haven't
quite found the necessary time to iron out the nuances to build 1.5.x
world yet.

running NetBSD-7 on a 2100 would be amusing, although I suspect not
practical.  the introduction of ssh and crypto (in 1.5.x) seems to be
the nail in the coffin for some of these older systems.
