Hey Sellam!
Sorry I can't talk much at the moment, but I would like to ask you to pass
this on to the ClassicCmp list. I cannot take the gear but it should
_definitely_ be rescued. Wish I had the space (and time too! This is short
notice for me.). Guess the fella found my email address through the Rescue
List or maybe a web search, or ?
East Aurora is a suburb of Buffalo, it's about five to ten miles southeast
of the city and about ten or so miles "inland" from Interstate 90.
Best regards to everyone. I promise to write to you, Sellam, later in the
Fall to see what's been happenin' lately.

Hello,
I saw you are interested in many Data General systems. Where my dad
works, they have a total of 5 Data General Eclipse systems that
are being scrapped. 3 work, two are parts machines (parts machines are
missing the actual racks). I see you guys want Data General hardware-I'm
wondering if you have any interest in these machines.
These would be free for the taking. We also have like lots of
disks/manuals/etc for them.
Now the caveat:These MUST DISAPPEAR by the weekend. If they are still here
monday, they are scrap. Personally, I can't bear to see these go for
scrap-they are so unique, and the fact that they work still must be more
unique. They were in service up until a month ago.
The machines are in East Aurora, NY (about an hour from you). If you have
any interest, or know
someone that does, please send me an email, or call me at 585-758-3274
Thanks,
Eric Kotz
