Other unnamed devices

A few old computers lying around I want to plug on my network but there's a few parts missing to complete the restauration.

To do

Obtain a new battery for the RAID controller for kanga
Obtain a hard drive power cable for komi
Obtain a new battery for shika
Obtain a SD card for a Raspberry Pi 4, install some sort of OS and plug it on a CRT (either emulation, old niche OS or some Vidéoway-based app)⁸⁾
Do something with the Commodore 64 (on the internet?)
Another TP-Link TL-WR740N lying around which looks extremely bricked, will be useful in the living room once unbricked
An IBM PS/1, needs either a serial cable, another floppy drive, or any way to transfer files to it
An old Mac, never bothered to do anything with it yet
An old Sun SPARCstation IPC, needs pretty much every peripheral or adapters to convert to more standard peripherals

¹⁾

formerly chikara, before a RAID controller crash made it impossible to boot from it until I change the batteries or something

²⁾

formerly 力 (power), until a boot hard drive change that came from a ThinkPad

³⁾

unused, but fairly useful when I need to run Windows VMs which is never these days because fuck Windows

⁴⁾

used to be the boot drive until the RAID controller crash so it boots from the laptop HD instead

⁵⁾

it's not really mine but I do need to use it sometimes and it's on my network so I list it here

⁶⁾

Last release of OpenWRT small enough to fit on a router with 4 MB flash/32 MB RAM

⁷⁾

never bothered to install OpenWRT for some reason, or it just doesn't support it yet idk

⁸⁾

Used to boot on a SSD which is now used for shika
