Hi guys & gals,

Passed on the responses from the group here to the
guy in Qld regarding the GA 3345. It jolted his interest level,
and it appears it may have a safe home already.

Got the following response.

Quote:-

"I just rang the guy from yesterdays generally distributed e-mail and he
says
that the unit has absolutely no documentation, nor any sign what
operating
system it ran, and he is only guessing by saying it is over 25 years
old. He
has been approached already by the "museum" run by the UQ Computing
department and they have indicated they will take the complete thing off
them. (This museum is just a collection of PDP and other early stuff in
the
foyer of one level of their building).

Currently it is in the Qld Dept of Natural Resources Offices, Brisbane,
and
was being held by someone starting a surveying museum, but they realised
this had nothing specifically to do with surveying.

He has said he will contact me if the UQ offer falls through."

End Quote.

Just to make sure it won't become razor blades, I've made a firm offer
to take it if the
UQ proposal does collapse in a heap, just in case......

Cheers
