burden to store. Nonetheless, I have recently started to collect the old
The Computer History Association of California has printers in its
collection, and (I think) is as interested in saving printers as anything
else.
P.S., I'll put in a plug for the CHAC here... Good org, great mag, everyone
should join/subscribe. For more info, see <http://www.chac.org/>. (I am,
btw, on the board of directors, but mostly I'm just handy for getting the
container doors closed. 8^)

I noticed their web page and it looks like a pretty good collection!
One thing I didn't see there was information about how it got started,
who was involved, what kind of a group it is, etc. Can you help out and
fill in the blanks? Thanks!

New subject: Zilog PDS 8000 Develpment System,
In my continuing efforts to catalog what I have, I ran across the Zilog
PDS 8000 Model 15 Development System. It has dual 8" drives, is heavy
:), and looks to be pretty well built. In checking the manuals I have
against our "Big List", these Hardware Reference is copyright July 1979
while the dates in the list are 1983/1984. I see the model 11 listed
but not the model 15 and the numbering scheme leads me to believe the
Model 11 preceeded the Model 15. If so, the dates for the two machines
seem to be conflicting. Does anyone have any more info?
One other thing, the Hardware Reference title is "Z8000 Develpment
Module, Hardware Reference Manual" rather than "Z8000 Development
System" and I am *assuming* they are the same. The other manuals
(Monitor listing, Linker, and Assembler) are dated from July 1979
through October 1980.
