Hi all,
The stuff mentioned in the Jeff's message on alt.sys.pdp11, and
forwarded to the list by both Frank Arnold and Bill Maddox:

has been, um, saved. Although it was farther away than I thought,
I was in the area, so went ahead and contacted Jeff at UCSB, and
we dealt with it today.
Since I am not going to physically move the machines back to Holland,
they will become available at some later date. If you really want a
working, racked PDP-11/(23,73) with RL02 drive, and are either in the
Los Angeles area, or willing to either drive a bit or have it shipped,
drop me a message!
(ohyeah, the same goes for the two DECwriter III (LA120)'s that came
with the stuff, as I will keep only one.
Cheers,
Fred
