All,
A decade or so back I visited a warehouse in Kerrville with a
*lot* of classic computer gear. That warehouse is now closing, and

I would like to arrange that on Saturday a group
of interested people could
come up and go through all the antique stuff. There is Kaypro, HP, Apple,
Commodore, Radio Shack, DEC Rainbow, etc. I will have space available that
everyone can plug in what they want to, and test it before they leave with
it. I have a limited amt of software that can be used on each type of
machine.
Also cases and cases of software and documentation for System 370, old IBM.
I enquired by email about the System 370 software and documentation.
I was told first that some of the boxes actually said "System 36" on them.
I was then told that The "software" seems to consist of large qty of 8"
floppy
disks that someone used for backups and that there are also "magazines" that
hold maybe 10 of the 8" diskettes each and that there does not seem to be any
original operating software or programs.
I was also told that there are 2 boxes, abt 20 pounds, that contains full
operating manuals and possibly the software for AT&T 3B2 system.
It doesn't sound likely to me that there is any 370 material there.
(I'm not complaining, I'm just passing on what I was told for the information
of others who might be interested.)

Peter Coghlan.
