Greetings all, it's "that time", the time I've finally accepted that I no
longer have the time/energy/space to devote to this collection/restoration hobby that
I've been able to enjoy for several decades now.During this time, I've managed to amass a
pretty sizeable amount of hardware, software, manuals, etc. We're talking half a garage,
part of a large shed and a storage rental's worth of stuff. I need to go through and hit
some highlights, but there are things from rack mount PDP-10's, an SGI (Challenge XL
rack, Indy's), tons of old Macs (original, 512, original, Portable, etc), Lisa, Apple II,
Commodore, TRS80, Grid, HERO robots, DG Aviion, HP PA-RISC, MIPS system, early luggables
(e.g. Zenith), boxes of ISA cards, etc, etc, etc. A good 20ft uhaul trucks worth of
stuff.There is no way I can piece meal stuff, so I'd be looking for someone, or an org
like a museum, who is willing to take the whole enchilada.This is an early feeler before
I start doing actual inventory to see if a) is anyone interested in/capable of dealing
with a large collectionb) is anyone aware of someone, or a museum, that may be
interestedI know I'm a bit light on the details, and we all know where the devil lives.
But this is the first step.The collection is located in Central Texas.TIA for any
interest, leads, pointers, sympathy, ridicule, etc.George
