There is or was a private museum in either Idaho or Washington State
that I donated a pile of my collection of cp/m gear to. I had Televideo,
Imsai, Osborne, Cromenco, Data General, Altos, you name it I probably
had it at one point in time or another. That was the original "Home for
Wayward Computers". I Had IBM System 34, 36 and 38, and my fave the
Unisys 5000/90 mini running UNIX. Oh yeah, had a Sperry with 5 meg
removable HD packs and 32k of hand-soldered transistor memory. Code was
tight in those days!!!  Ric
