Well, we finally managed to pick up the huge collection of computers
from a basement in enschede, The Netherlands.
Is was quite a project.
after visiting the place to get an idea about what there was and how to
get it out of there, we made a plan. the key problem was that almost 90
percent had to come through a small hatch 80x80cm. :-)
and the collection included pdp11's, Control Data diskpack drives,
microvaxes, SGI's, IBM RT machines, an IBM system/36 and a lot more
heavy stuff.
We rounded up around 15 people and a lot of transporting hardware an we
managed to get everything out in one day. :-)
To have a souvenir of the occasion we set up some camera's taking a
picture every 5 seconds and made a nice film:
