[cctalk] Re: Downsizing "feeler"

George - I have made contact with SAMSAT museum, and they interested in talking with you about your collection. I have asked the gentleman there if I can give you his email address. In the meantime, if you wish, you can fill out a contact form on the SAMSAT website: Contact | SAMSAT | | | | | | | | | | | Contact | SAMSAT Contact SAMSAT or reserve the Geekbus. | | | That way you can communicate directly with him. I have no connection with the museum, but if I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

I need to go through and hit some highlights, but there are things from rack mount PDP-10's, an SGI (Challenge XL rack, Indy's), tons of old Macs (original, 512, original, Portable, etc), Lisa, Apple II, Commodore, TRS80, Grid, HERO robots, DG Aviion, HP PA-RISC, MIPS system, early luggables (e.g. Zenith), boxes of ISA cards, etc, etc, etc. A good 20ft uhaul trucks worth of stuff.There is no way I can piece meal stuff, so I'd be looking for someone, or an org like a museum, who is willing to take the whole enchilada.This is an early feeler before I start doing actual inventory to see if a) is anyone interested in/capable of dealing with a large collectionb) is anyone aware of someone, or a museum, that may be interestedI know I'm a bit light on the details, and we all know where the devil lives. But this is the first step.The collection is located in Central Texas.TIA for any interest, leads, pointers, sympathy, ridicule, etc.George
