It's not the practicality of shipping it that's the issue, it's just my
preference was for someone to turn up and take it away as it's the simplest option for
me.
Selfish, I know. But it worked out for everybody involved...

My comment wasn't directed at you; someone giving something away (or
even selling it) is certainly free to set their own conditions. I was
just laughing (hysterically) at the whining of "it's so biiiiiiiiiiig!"
for a small tabletop tape drive. It's a one-man lift...It's not like
it's a friggin' TU78!

Not sure if you are indicating that I am one of the whiners, but I would
just like to point out that different people have different amounts of
space to dedicate to this hobby, and what may be tiny in your books, may
not be so for others. If you have the space then that is fine, but please
don't laugh hysterically at those not as fortunate as yourself.

I should also say...I'm sorry if you took offense to my statement.

this is "my" space (as of a month ago; it's on it's way to being

One small modem rack dominates it; I can't imagine fitting "even" a
TS05 in there ...
(Don't get me wrong - I used to play on 11/780 and 11/750s in my
youth, would love to have one, just no way I'd get one into the
attic!)

It's an infra-red 'touch screen' for the Microvitec monitor that attached to
a BBC Micro. I just gave one away.

Adrian is correct. It's a frame that sits in front of a Microvitec

What I don't seem to have is software to use it, although I dare say
if I actually get around to looking about the 'net I'll find some...

It's a large tabeltop box (it's a 19" ackmount thing ,and it's deep from
frotn to back). I cna think fo several tables (in the furniture sense) it
wouldn't fit on.
And you've not been in my workshop. I would have problems finding space
for another HP41 at the moment...
