Sorry if I misunderstood Will.
I'd reccomend a HEPA filter mask, rubber gloves and lots and lots of
Isopropal, dowse any rodent droppings before you remove them.
Up here in New England, we don't have this (virus) problem, so its
probably best to check with local health people to be sure of any needed
precautions.

agree with you fully about the danger of hanta virus... Any time you
are around rodent excrement, especially in large quantities, you can't
be too careful... That's why I have thrown out a few items I've gotten
over the years; I figured the potential health hazard to myself was
not worth it... A good example would be the Sinclair ZX-81 I got which
was filled with cockroaches! YUCK! What sort of protection do you
think would be adequate for John when he cleans the VAX? I'd almost
want to recommend some kind of serious respirator-type mask, like the
ones used when you do things like paint a car, or work with
fiberglass, etc. But I definetly agree you should, bare minimum, wear
a face mask, and gloves as well...
