I live nearby, I have a trailer. let me know and I will help. I have done
many rescues in Baltimore/Washington. I don't want this stuff permanently,
so someone will have to arrange to grab it from me or I will donate to
VCFed. Whomever is in charge, let me know via

I'm sorry, I didn't know Bob and it sounds very tragic.
Where is this located?

Don't get me wrong, I/we really appreciate the pictures, but you should

Unfortunately, those blurry cell phone pictures are almost useless. I did
spot what appears to be an M-class HP 21MX system in DSC_0249.JPG. Someone
should rescue that one.

I've recently been working on archiving a huge pile of PERQ floppies. I'd
be more than happy to help archive any media, including the scanning of
documentation. I know that Bob had an extensive collection, and some of
this is likely to be the only copies of such media left in existence.
