I'm not sure I do, either. Maybe he means Charles Lasner, a frequent
contributor to alt.sys.pdp8 (aka PDP8-LOVERS) up until a few years ago?

Even the disk drives are rather small - a fully configured system
with multiple RK05's, DECtapes, a few ASR33's, and one of the fixed head disks
weighs well under a half-ton, making it a "small" system by the standards
of many :-).
