I recently inherited a Cisco 1700 router that has gotten
separated from its power cable. (Which is, alas, not any
standard I'm familiar with....)
When I searched on Google to find a replacement, I got
hits on several companies who claim to offer not only hardware
accessories but also ROMs and IOS images for various end-of-life
Cisco gear.
I have not verified whether these items are legally licensed
from Cisco; since the hardware all seemed to be EOL, I wouldn't
expect support in any case.

Hi Folks,
I bought a Cisco 1600 on ebay and it came with oukt the flash.
Now I bought the flash but without IOS.
Anyone out there can tell me where can I buy th Cisco 1600
IOS Image
file.
Bill:
Legally? From Cisco. Unfortunately, it costs a bunch (or so
I've been
told.)
For many vendors, the purchase - from whatever source -
carries with it
an implied binary license. As in, the equipment is no good
without the
software so, since you own the hardware, you also are entitled to the
software.
With Cisco, if you purchase the hardware, that is just what you've
purchased - the hardware. To run it, you also need to purchase the
software...
Or so I've been told. (I'm slightly interested in this since I just
bought a PIX-501 on EBay... and am waiting to see what else is
needed...)
Regards,
Gregory Hicks
Thanks,
Bill
