Hi.
Not mine, not affiliated, but I think a serious collector should pick
this up!

I agree, racks like that are surely rare enough to warrant a rescue!
If I were local, I'd go for it!

Thanks for posting the pointer! I contacted the seller and
hopefully will be snagging this.

Please let us know if you rescue it. I'm strangely concerned about
this rack. I have fears of some Redneck or Windows user getting it
and trashing it.

Don't worry about that. I've been chatting with the seller; he
won't do anything bad with it. I've already made arrangements for
him to hold it so I can pick it up in a couple of months, and have
been speaking with Bill Maddox as well. Worst case is I'll end up
picking it up myself. It will not be trashed.

Thanks for the info Dave! I'll crawl back under my rock and go back
to not worrying about anything Classic Computer related! :-)

Congrats to whomever gets it. It's certainly an unusual find - just
too from me to even contemplate trying to get it.
I'll be curious to learn if there are any part number or serial number
plates stuck on the back anywhere.
