From Jargon File (4.3.3, 20 Sep 2002) [jargon]:
doorstop n. Used to describe equipment that is non-functional and
halfway expected to remain so, especially obsolete equipment kept around
for political reasons or ostensibly as a backup. "When we get another
Wyse-50 in here, that ADM 3 will turn into a doorstop." Compare {boat
anchor}.
If it's in the jargon file, it's pretty technical :).
