Hi Jules,
Coincidentally enough, I'm going to be coming to Oxford next month
down the M1, and I'm sure I could make a detour to Bletchley to drop
this stuff off to you (as long as there was someone around to take
delivery of it).
Sure you don't want any more gear as well? Clump of VAXen? ;)
Ta,
Ed.
All,
I am interested in a couple of the items, but there is no way I can
collect/store/process this. I have an estate car and am willing to
drive up from Swindon, but my the people I live with are not so
understanding about old computers.
If you do happen to go up there, it's perhaps worth rescuing the Tek
hard-sectored disks for the museum; that's assuming that nobody has a more
pressing need for them (and their contents!), of course - I just wouldn't want
to see them go to landfill.
Small hard disks (particularly SCSI rather than IDE) are also worth rescuing
if nobody else wants them.
Oh, I believe we're short a few Sun type 4 keyboards for all of our Sun kit
(assuming the ten that were listed don't belong with the machines that were
also listed :-)
The UPS would be darn handy for the couple of new servers that have been put
into action recently...
