Hi, Pavl.

Fred van Kempen is apparently interested in the disk drives as well, so
you might want to coordinate with him. At least make sure that the loot
is still there if you are going to try to beat him to it. :)

There is one complication -- I've since agreed to let Al Kossow borrow
the CPU for a bit. The power supply on his 11/44 died last weekend, and
he has been using it to read DECtapes. I figure I'd help him out until
he could get his power supply fixed. I'm not sure at this point how
long he will be needing it. Will let you know.
