does anyone have an idea where he is nowadays? I know he dropped
off the net once before, and I'm afraid he may have done so
again. Unfortunately he has an old PDP11 disk of ours and I
need to talk to him to decide what to do about it. Email me
his current address please, or pass on to him that I'm trying
to contact him please, if you're in touch with him.
We were discussing this in the IRC channel recently. I don't know what
became of the attempts to contact him.

I wouldn't bet on that :-) I'm actually based in Edinburg, Texas; and the
drive is wherever Fred is in the Netherlands. But it sounds like Henk is liable
to bump into him tomorrow at the Hamfest, so we could be in luck.
What I may be looking for, however, is someone to read a very old RK05 that
hasn't been spun up in 30 years. And someone to bring it back from .NL.
(My old Dad took it over the first time on his bicycle! But he's had a
small stroke since then and although he still cycles I wouldn't like to
send him off on a long trip like that on his own again...)
