I finally have the proper "rollover" cable for use with Cisco console ports!
So the next thing to do was to plug it into one of the rescued Cisco 2924 switches I have
apparently the boot loader is there, but an image (boot image) is not in flash.
Going to Cisco's site, it seems that you have to buy a contract in order to get an image?
Is it just my imagination or did I use to see a "special", non-CC image for the 1900 and 2900 series switches on the Cisco site? (I have a 2924M-XL-EN ).

Not your imagination at all. You do have to register on their site, but,
it doesn't require a support contract, and bugmenot may even have a login
for it. Click the "Download software" link at
