Bob Davis and old computer stuff

[Bill Degnan]

I live nearby, I have a trailer.  let me know and I will help.  I have done
many rescues in Baltimore/Washington.  I don't want this stuff permanently,
so someone will have to arrange to grab it from me or I will donate to
VCFed.  Whomever is in charge, let me know via
https://www.vintagecomputer.net/contact.cfm  I resqued a Perq and donated
it to what was then MARCH, now vcfed.  It would be useful to at least try
to get one working Perq system there.
