I do, too - over on the left, on top of the PET floppy unit (2040?

We've just been discussing D9060 and D9090 drives over on the
cbm-hackers list this week. Several members of that list (including
myself) have one or more units. They are interesting, but finding
them with the disks in a working state is somewhat uncommon.
Fortunately, you can sub in an ST225 or ST251 without any changes to
the firmware or boards if you don't happen to have a working TM602S or
TM603S handy.
If you live in Vancouver you MUST check this out:

I think I see a PET IEEE-488 harddisk in the pictures... ... and possibly a B-series PET.
Over on the right? Could be. Those came out after my PET experience,
but the case looks right to me.
Crap, I'm on the wrong side of the country!
As am I. We have some old stuff at FreeGeek Columbus, but nothing
approaching that quantity or variety. At the moment, we have one SGI
O2, a couple of NeXT slabs, an Apple IIe, and quite a bit of
miscellaneous flotsam. Like FreeGeek Vancouver, we lack the room to
preserve such things indefinitely, but also would like to do something
more than shred them at the recycling table.
