Any other peripheral collectors out there?
Sort-of. I like to run my machines with the original peripherals if at
all possible (not necessarily the ones that were originally used on that
particular CPU, but at least ones that would have been used on that type
of machine). So my minis tend to have the demountable 14" hard disks, for
example. I have a few HP printers and plotters for my HP 9000s and my
calculators. And so on.
There are some peripherals I've actively collected (in particular modem
with odd receiver circuits), but in general I just obtain them when I see
them.
