[vcf-midatlantic] Museum report

[Jeffrey Brace]

Ray,

We do have them in the warehouse, but for exhibit purposes we want an
original 1541. It's for the look since it is Commodore drive with Commodore
computer. The Indus might work better, but we want to have all Commodore
Brand stuff in the exhibit if possible.
