The three computers seem to be the equivalent of today's generic
you-build-ems. The cases are unmarked. The motherboards are fairly
standard issue from the day (Godbout/Compupro or other generic x-slot
S-100 boards). In a way, I wish they were recognizable items like
Vector, Imsai or whatever, but this way is more exciting, I guess.

The rest of the hardware, including the cards and drives, will be
examined as I find time. I've been house-hunting lately and free time
is at even more of a premium then usual (picture getting up at 6:30,
driving 125+ miles, loading several hundred pounds of gear, driving
back, unloading and then packing the baby and pregnant wife in the car
for a fun-filled day of looking at other peoples homes!)

I'm hoping everything settles out in the next few months, but by then
I'll have another baby in the house (hopefully a new house!) and the
feces will once again hit the wind-maker.

Meanwhile, I'm not going to be able to keep all of this stuff so I do
need to figure out what's there and what I do keep then disseminate the
rest of the stuff as needed.

I used to own an H-19.
