I have just taken out of service two 11/70s, one operational and one not. Both are
complete. I also
have two RMO 5 drive packs with 300 meg drives.
Any offers?

--Researchers pursue biodegradable pc boards--
A project to investigate reducing the cost of recycling has produced some
promising results--and a patent application--in the area of biodegradable
printed-circuit boards. The Welding Institute (TWI), based here, and the
British Textile Technology Group (BTTG; Manchester, England) have been
working together for about one year and are now looking for additional
partners to help produce an industrial-scale demonstration of the
technology. TWI has been investigating biodegradable pc boards as a means
of satisfying forthcoming European Union (EU) recycling legislation.
Candidate materials for biodegradable pc boards include proteins such
as casein and plant extensions and carbohydrate-based materials such as
cellulose and chitin.

Maybe we need some biodegradable
researchers.

Well, as long as it's just about PC PCBs, I can't see any

So who on the list is near Ottawa :^)

I was curious too...
He also said that they had been in use until Spring of this year, and that
they came with terminals and *documentation*.

That's in my backyard area! I'm in Kingston, Ontario canada.
But I'm not that mobile and have no room for them. :-(
But I have no idea how big this 11/70 would be?
I will scare my friends network up to see if someone wants one.

They are biodegradable... you just have to keep 'em in the ground
long enough...
