Hi All
I have a number of tapes for the Bruker Aspect 2000.
These are paper tapes. All looking for a good home.
I'd like these to go to someone with one of these computers.
It looks like it included the OS. These are paper tape, not mag tape.

I guess to be fair I should offer that if anyone wants a 3600 and
they can reproduce asexually, I'll see if I can breed the one I just

If you have some storage, then you can lose a microcomputer.
If you lose a minicomputer, then you have a lot of storage.
If you lose a mainframe, then you have ENOUGH storage.
