You'll definitely get plenty of these, but you'll most likely also receive
some good offers.
I usually steer the people with original IBM PC stuff to the list,
otherwise I suggest to them that they donate it to their local community
college so the students can use them for spare parts for various projects.
I no longer suggest Goodwill or Salvation Army as those orgs have stopped
taking old 80s era PCs.

I'm setup with a video capture board and can convert the tape pretty
readily. Send me a copy and I'll see about digitizing it when I get back
from VCF East.
