Yeah, it's great to see what stuff people have got, I agree!
I only joined the list a couple of weeks ago, and don't have
anything much of a "collection" as such (just the usual stock
of home micros, mostly stuff I got from new and never had the
heart - thankfully - to throw out when they stopped being used) -
Sinclair, Acorn, Commodore etc. Probably the only "interesting"
one in the lot is an OU Hektor1 (someone else just posted about
one of these 8085 boards). I'm in Bath (UK), and so far haven't
found a decent source of old machines in the area - computer
scrap/surplus dealers seem a bit thin on the ground.

looking for..

I'm interested in older workstations (mainly stuff I've worked on
in the past) and am always on the lookout for spares/complete
systems/manuals/software etc - basically anything :-) Of most
interest are:

Xerox Alto (fat chance of finding one in the UK though!),
Xerox 860, Xerox D-machines (8010, 6085, 1186 etc)
Sun 3/60
Sun 4/110
Sun SPARCstation IPC
HP9000 (725? can't remember the model number now)
ICP/3RCC PERQ

Cheers
