Sellam, please excuse me not responding via the list, but my posts
aren't getting through there.
I've discussed it with Dag Spicer and Eugene Miya; the Museum is
interested and willing to take it, although they have more pressing
priorities at the moment, but unless somebody can really cut through the
red tape at a HIGH level, it's looking more and more like it ain't gonna
happen.
It's probably only going to stay out of the scrap heap if it can be kept
in the state, as with the old TI's I'm also trying to get hold of.
I'll be the first to admit I'm not the most experienced with mainframes,
but I learn quick, and I'm probably one of the few in this area with
both the skill and the interest to see it through, wherever it ends up,
and I know some of the few other like persons in the area. I know one
person who did some of the area remote links to the Cyber. Don't write
me of *that* quick. :-)
I've already spoken to John, among others. I'll be setting up a list on
this in a day or so. Will post the address soon.
later,
