Rescue mission - Anyone else?

        Ha! Got my first "official" rescue coming up on the 18th. One of the local
colleges (by 'local' I mean Washington state) is disposing of their old
PDP-11/44 and all its peripherals.

        Here's the bad news. I don't have the space or the hauling capability to
save the entire system. I'm taking the Fujitsu 'Eagle' they've got, its
Unibus controller (an Emulex SC31 I'm told) plus some RSTS distribution
tapes and a tape drive and -possibly- a rack.

        Last call: Is there anyone else in or near WA who would like to help save
the rest of the system? If not, most of it will end up with the scrappers.

        Please get in touch with me directly as I will need to get my contact's OK
(he's just expecting me at the moment).

        Thanks!
