Old Cisco Stuff

I just got some old Cisco gear to add to the collection (I need more cisco gear like I need a hole in the head). I was wondering if anyone could let me know about:
Cisco MicroServer 200
Cisco 1501 hub
Anything useful I can do with the MicroServer? Am I assuming correctly that the hub is unmanaged due to the lack of a console port? What is the difference between a Cisco hub and any other hub?
I have a problem with hoarding any/all Cisco gear regardless of age, that I can get my hands on.
The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

Yes. It is an 10BASE-T unmanaged hub and good for propping open your door.
The Micro Server is a 10BASE-T web server which should still be usable. It isn't useful for any certifications however.

At least you're hoarding cheap gear. It'd be worse if you had a need for something like a 12000 or CRS-1

What is the difference between a Cisco unmanaged hub and say a netgear you were able to buy at Best Buy? Price?

Can you even still buy hubs? o.Oboostinbadger wrote: »What is the difference between a Cisco unmanaged hub and say a netgear you were able to buy at Best Buy? Price?
For an unmanaged hub, there isn't really that much difference from a functional point of view. You're paying for in theory better build quality over a consumer device and the brand name.
