This is a cool lot for someone a lot closer than I am. It's in
Gloucester, MA. It is only a 3 day auction and it could end up being a
rescue by the sound of it. Hopefully someone can save it from landfill.

... which led me to check the site of the obvious PDP-11/44 owner in
Gloucester and HOLY CRAP I had no idea Dan Lanciani had died (in Feb of last
year). I'm so sorry to hear about that!! He was a great guy...

I'm sorry to hear that too! I didn't know him well, but in my interactions
with him he was always amazingly generous.

Very generous. I went up to his place to pick up a Kennedy 9400 tape
drive and came back with two drives, dozens of 9-track tapes, and a
Fujitsu Eagle!

Sounds right. I went there to test my 11/44 board set in his 11/44, and
came back with an RL01 and a DG Eclipse S/120. And he was always helpful
and friendly by email. He did a lot of work with packet drivers etc.
Really really nice guy.

The price is dirt cheap, too. I can't believe someone hasn't "bought it
now" already. If only I were closer!

Hopefully the Sun 3/160 doesn't end up recycled. It's a nice complete
looking system but, I know some of the DEC collectors don't care much
about Sun gear and that will take up some space.

Accepted offer was $700.00. Probably made someone happy at that price
for that collection of hardware.
