I wish you were only 5 hours from me, I would be at your front door in the
morning. :-(

Subject: Honeywell DPS6 rescue in Nevada
Due to the inability of more one individual to follow up on 'firm'
commitments, I must now dispose of a Honeywell DPS-6 mainframe and
matching 9Trk tape drive.
This is "free, come and get it" - and there are loading facilities
on-site to do this. It will easily fit in the bed of most full-sized
pickup trucks. We just need it to go away, fast.
This gear is located in the Carson City area of northern Nevada - about
a 5 hour (beautiful!) drive from the Silicon Valley. It wieghs all up
about 600 pounds. For the right amount of bribe-money, I'd even consider
delivering it myself.
OTHERWISE, this equipment will be broken up for scrap and the cabinets
taken to the junk yard - it is in storage at a friend's and he needs the
space the computer is currently taking.
If there is no interest by this time next week, we're going to get out
the torches and the chainsaws - there are no other options.
Speak up, Folks! Don't make me have to kill a rare machine!!!
Cheers
John
