Hi.
Sorry to hear that Adrian, you have some nice gear listed on your site.
I don't thinkg you will have problems finding a home for most of it.
Although a month is shorter than one might think.
Unless you have a PDP-8 tucked away in there, the shipping is probably
to prohibitive for me to give you any serious offers.
Cheers,
Pontus.

Folks,
First off, apologies to those who've asked me about the DSSI drive
sleds etc I mentioned a while back, fret not, I still have them.
Reason for the above not happening - my landlord wants his house back.
This is a problem because I really fell on my feet when I found this
place and managed to squirrel away my entire collection. 3.5 years
later this town is home, my girlfriend is here, my friends are here so
I don't want to up sticks and move the whole lot again. Also there's
now no way I can afford a house with this much garage space.
So. As much as it pains me I have to come to the realisation that I'll
never actively use 90% of my DEC stuff, my CBM PET stuff, IBM PC
compatibles or the 'middling' Apple stuff like LCs, Mac IIs, Quadras
etc
I haven't extensively catalogued anything for years, but given that I
only have a month and a bit it's time to get my skates on.
I'm guessing nobody will be interested in my SUN and Cisco kit, or
Research Machines early PCs.
Over the weekend I'll catalogue the big DEC and Apple stuff and post it here.
Any advice or offers of collecting stuff from me gratefully received.
I can ship big things from work on receipt of money, even on pallets.
Cheers,
