Unfortunately, those blurry cell phone pictures are almost useless. I did
spot what appears to be an M-class HP 21MX system in DSC_0249.JPG. Someone
should rescue that one.

There are a bunch of 8 inch floppies and old hard disks down there.
We have to move fast though, this needs to be cleaned out. How can people
help me on this?

I've recently been working on archiving a
huge pile of PERQ floppies. I'd
be more than happy to help archive any media, including the scanning of
documentation.? I know that Bob had an extensive collection, and some of
this is likely to be the only copies of such media left in existence.
Also, it would be great to get images of the hard drives in those PERQs.?
I can assist with that as well.

Well I'm the one who was his friend for many years and when he died I
kept in touch with his mom. She's clearing out the house and I went
over
today to tag and review some stuff.
There appear to be at least two Perqs, several boxes of floppies, junk
all over the place, a couple of Sun VMEs, what might be part of a Sun
3/50, big weird boards, at least 3 pdp11 q bus boxes, and the like. I
tagged the Perqs, brought home some boxes of floppies and said I would
see if anyone would help.
She really misses him and would like his stuff to go somewhere that
people will care about it and remember him. He was a good egg, and his
death was a very tragic accident.
I took some pictures, but what of his stuff is important and what is
not? Who is willing to help me get this stuff somewhere where people
can
care about it?
