Darn! I was in the area last week, well, the East side of Novara anyway. I have a vague
recollection that I have been in touch with him a few years ago. Will check when I get
home tonight

Alberto Rubinelli has a warehouse full of machines (8134 that have been
catalogued and maybe 4000 more that are yet to be catalogued). The
article mentions a VAX-11/780 and and an "IBM 390", but no pictures of
either. There's a Laptop Grid Computer 1520 but it's not quite clear
whether it is one that flew on the shuttle or just the same type as one
that did.
His aim is to have them all running and to open a museum.
