Hi, All,

controller :) I have the four 2716 EPROMS dumped in the files area of my

That is pretty sad to hear.
The item is the notebook / diary detailing the restoration of their
PDP8/s (or I think it is of theirs). Undoubtedly donated by someone who
may have thought it would remain there. I suspect unless the items are
going to organizations, they will show up soon on eba
