[vcf-midatlantic] Vintage stuff I should get rid of

[William Dudley]

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".
