Those would certainly interest me if I happen upon any at a price that I like. Same goes
for an HPIB 9 track tape drive. But since the HP Series 80 stuff lies more towards the
fringes of my interests at this time, I have a hunch that I am not too likely to find one
of those at a price I would like to pay any time soon. Naturally, I?m more prone to pay
real money for things closer to my core interests. But if I do happen upon any of that
sort of gear at the right time, place, and price, then that will be really cool. Sometimes
I surprise myself. I never expected to be interested in the DG Nova until I stumbled over
a chance to buy one along with a PDP-11/03 system that interested me more at the time. Now
I am glad that I have that cool Nova system, even though I still haven?t managed to get it
talking to its hard drive.
