Bringing up a 10 years dormant VAX 11/750

I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was.. I was laughing about what
Fred said the tombstone would say for someone killed by their 11/70.. My
apologies if you thought I was laughing about that... I agree with you fully
about the danger of hanta virus... Any time you are around rodent excrement,
especially in large quantities, you can't be too careful... That's why I
have thrown out a few items I've gotten over the years; I figured the
potential health hazard to myself was not worth it... A good example would
be the Sinclair ZX-81 I got which was filled with cockroaches! YUCK! What
sort of protection do you think would be adequate for John when he cleans
the VAX? I'd almost want to recommend some kind of serious respirator-type
mask, like the ones used when you do things like paint a car, or work with
fiberglass, etc. But I definetly agree you should, bare minimum, wear a face
mask, and gloves as well...
