up to VCF/M missed out - Paul Anderson was there with a large amount of
great gear for sale. I was like a kid in a candy store with the M
module card inventory, printsets, documentation, tapes, and even a nice
RK05 drive.
I'd agree. I had a module that Paul couldn't find in time to bring to
the show with him, but he had a lot great looking things that I would
have considered buying if I had a use for them.
Yeah... that's something else I was sorry I couldn't be there for.
I'm often in the market for disk interfaces and memory for various DEC
machines (mostly -11 and -8 platforms).
Out of curiousity, how much did the RK05 run you? I have enough of my
own, but I'm curious about a non-eBay price point.
I think he was asking about $500 for it. I didn't buy it, mostly because I
don't have a controller or machine that needed one.
Hopefully, he'll consider coming next year.
