[SunRescue] Free PDP-11 equipment: [3 PDP-11s in working order]

[Mark Davies]

I'd go get them at the drop of a hat, even though I know, I don't have the
room and my wife, would create more heat than appollo 11 did. But I cann't
afford to hire a truck and my old Volvo, just wouldn't make it. DAMN!!!!!
Why the xxxx does everybody live in London... or Glasgow.. or Leeds... never
never in little Catshill......

must remove ALL the equipment in one visit. You (or the person who wants it)
must also agree not to make any BA programs or BA data which can found or
recovered from the machines available to anyone, or use it in any way or for
any purpose. We have a lift which is capable of carrying the PDPs down to
ground level.
