[rescue] New to list - introduction

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Greetings fellow rescuer.

The DG Nova is a cool catch. I have much interest in DG, but no hardware
(althought I DO have the WinnRoss "A Generation Ahead" tractor trailer model
- its a start).

~ Greetings folks - new to list, thought I'd introduce myself...
~ 
~ The focus of my collection is HP2100 and HP1000 stuff, DEC 
~ PDP-8 and DEC
~ PDP-11, and Data General Nova. I currently have two HP2100 
~ cpus (looking
~ desperately for a third), and about 5 various 21MX cpus. I 
~ have a PDP-8E,
~ PDP-11/44, a bunch of 11/23 & 11/73 systems, and a 11/34a on 
~ the way. I also
~ have acquired a Data General Nova 1200 but it has not yet 
~ arrived (shipping
~ racks is a pain). I also have a deal pending on a Microdata 
~ Reality as well.
~ For all these systems I have the typical peripherals (RL02's, 
~ 7970 tape
~ drives, 7900, 7905, & 7906 disc drives, paper tape readers & 
~ punches, etc.).
~ 
~ The centerpiece of my collection is a running HP2000/Access 
~ TimeShared BASIC
~ system. Hopefully will have one of my 21MX's running HP2000/E 
~ soon too.
~ 
~ While my focus is strictly minis, I have "accidentally" 
~ amassed probably one
~ of the largest Heathkit collections around including about 6 
~ or 7 H89's, two
~ H8's, an H100, and a few apples. For the Heaths I probably 
~ have every piece
~ of software ever put out, plus complete user group mailings & 
~ archives, etc.
~ I don't actively try to increase the micro side of my 
~ collection, but it was
~ a sentimental value thing.
~ 
~ As to rescues, I'm more than happy to pick stuff up for 
~ people if they need
~ it. I do have access to several vans and will gladly help 
~ anyone rescue a
~ system that is in my geography. I'm located in St. Louis, MO.
~ 
~ Regards,
