Does anyone have an address and some contacts at the computer museum
that NASA's Ames Research centre in California is putting together? There
was an article about it in the New Scientist Magazine.
Here's the reason: some time ago a museum allegedly building in
Colorado approached me about taking away some old machines I have... I
promised them, but nothing every came of it and the storage bills are
killing me now that I am retired.
I will give them away, but I do want to do it on a wholesale basis
rather than piece by piece. Here's what I have:
Dec PDP 11/34, two RK06 drives (was working when retired). Drives are,
of course, the big washing machine ones. 11/34 is in an "executive" rack.
Dec PDP ll/23, two RL02 drives, in usual tall rack. Broken pin in
ribbon cable to the mini-drives used for booting and diagnosis. RL02s were
working when retired.
Lots of manuals and some spare platters for the drives.
Quick and Timely (Seattle company) CP/M box, S100 bus. Working when
last used.
Matrox (Montreal company) CP/M box, with old analog-digital conversion
attachment, used for scientific experiment data gathering when retired.
No documentation, but some boot floppies for the above.
Commodore 8296. Beautiful looks. Last Commodore entry into the 8-bit
business computer field. With dual floppy drive. Some software.
A few miscellaneous Atari STs. monitors, floppy drives.
Since I am in Ottawa, California might be a long way to transport the
stuff but since some of it seems rare now and the Ames Research centre
seems intent on collecting stuff, they might be willing to pay for a truck
from here.
I would appreciate advice.
