Hey everyone. Jason Scott no longer needs the vast majority of his vintage computer collection. He's donating it to us for our museum and/or fundraising -- we'll make decisions when the collection gets to NJ. Who can help us rescue it? There are (at least) two full shelving units of hardware: https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/865598646120718337 This is located at his home in Hopewell Junction, NY. Contact me, not Jason. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation
PS. Jason emphasized that he needs us to do this SOON. On 05/19/2017 12:14 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

That's about 2 1/2 hrs from me one way. (Less the way I drive unless traffic) I might be able to make one run up tomorrow morning but that's not going to take it all in one shot. One van load is the best I could do if he's available in the morning tomorrow (I could be there by 10/10:30ish) Then back to my house to cherry pick the best stuff.......umm I mean then back to the warehouse, unload and then I have to work Saturday evening. If this works I will try to alter my work schedule. Let me know as soon as possible. Tony Sent from my iPhone

Thanks Tony, but, I gave it more thought (yes ... in the past 10 minutes) and realized we should just rent a truck instead. There is another rescue from a few months ago that we need to go back and finish. So I think we can just rent a truck, as we have many times before, and do both in one day (me + one reliable helper). Tony I'll look to you for the unloading part back at the museum. :)

Roger that. If I'm available for the unload, I'll be there. Tony
I'm about 45 minutes away from Hopewell Junction so can help out if needed for the loading if it's on a weekend. Pete

Sorry, Evan, I can only do weekends. Pete On May 19, 2017, at 1:04 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Good deal.
Tentatively looking at Wednesday next week.
Update: I'm going to rent a cargo van (truck not needed) and drive up there Thursday with Anthony S. ... nice and simple ... no need to avoid the parkways, pay extra tolls, etc.
Can you ask Jason if he can look for my discferret drive power cable when going through this stuff? I lent him the whole discferret a few years back for a floppy imaging project, and he misplaced that one cable. It looks vaguely like a standard floppy/cdrom power cable (i.e. one 4 pin berg connector on it and one 4 pin molex connector) except the other end has a nonstandard black mini 4-pin molex connector on it. It also has a p-touch thermal printed "discferret" label on/wrapped around it, and may even have my name on a label wrapped around it as well.
