People generally like to collect what they know, and what was dear to them
as they grew up. Many people never had exposure to datacom equipment
beyond simple modems. Therefore, its a matter of disinterest due to
ignorance of the technology.
I'd love to start collecting 60s and 70s era datacom equipment, but I find
it hard to identify anything I come across. I'm going to start making a
better effort though.
