Fwd: Seeking good home(s) for old hardware [UK]

Here's something of possible interest to rightpondians. -brian. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 10:23:51 +0000 Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers Subject: Seeking good home(s) for old hardware Can anyone provide any suggestions, flippant or otherwise, as to where I might seek new homes for some old kit that has been cluttering my attic for many years? My wife is putting her foot down, and frankly I am never going to do anything with it. I am paring down my collection of old computers and peripherals to a few that I will actually use, and trying to find people who will actually use the others. So I need homes for: * SWTPC 6809 computer. Main unit, disk unit inc. 8 1/2" Qume floppy drive, Western digital harddisk controller but no HDD. VDU/terminal (not working). Used to run Uniflex (but I don't have this, since the hard disk crashed and there were no originals provided). I have all the hardware and software manuals. I have seen this computer working but it has been stored a long time. * Remex paper tape reader/writer (works as far as I know, but I don't have the cables for it). * Diablo daisy wheel (have seen it working but about 17 years ago!) It's a long shot, but somebody may be able to help. I can provide more details if anyone is interested. Mail me at jpcc "at" bigfoot "dot" com if you prefer. I am in the UK.
