My first post got a fair amount of interest. Who knew so many would want 1702 EPROMS ? I didn't hear from Evan, and I did want him to weigh in on interest by the Museum. One correction: the Zenith terminal is a Z-19, as some of you had surmised. It has a green phosphor and I just powered it up and got a blinking cursor, so it's largely functional. I have no idea how to distribute the 1702's, as there were several of you expressing interest, except perhaps "first come first served", of which I'm not that big a fan. After I hear from Evan I will have to figure out how to distribute this stuff "fairly". Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

I've been a pack rat for decades, and lately I've been stumbling upon stuff which was "junk" 20 years ago but is now probably "collectible".

I thought I'd post a few examples here to gauge interest. If something is appropriate for the museum, or somebody wants something for their private collection, let me know.

Here are the first few things I've found, that I should have thrown out decades ago:

1. 5 Intel 1702A-2 EPROMS. These are in ceramic/gold packages (with window). Each holds a grand total of 256 bytes of storage.

2. A Zenith Z-89 terminal. Like the Heath/Zenith all in one computer, but without the computer part -- just the CRT terminal in an over-wide package.

3. Books (all are 8" x 5 1/4" paperback)

digital pdp-8/a minicomputer handbook 1976-77

digital introduction to programming 1970

digital small computer handbook 1973

digital introduction to minicomputer networks (copyright 1974)

4. IBM 8514 Monitor

The results are in: Kyle Owen was first to ask for the 1702's, Systems Glitch is also interested. Perhaps you two can decide if you want to share, otherwise Kyle gets 'em. The Z19 is going to the museum. Matt Patoray is getting the 8514. Kyle Owen is getting the books. I'll bring it all to VCF East unless any of you want to make other arrangements. I'm in Jackson, NJ.
