Search for Push-In Rivets (plastic, nylon, etc.).
Two of the largest mfg. of plastic Push Rivets are just east (Richco, River
Forest, IL) and north (Fastex, Des Plaines, IL) of me. Both have been acquired
by larger conglomerates.

No - say it's not true!! I live in California but occasionally we drive
cross country to visit my family in Indiana, and I always stopped there. We
were last there in 2019...

What would you like to know?
Many of machines are there are from Eric Smith (DEC-20, PDP-12, etc. etc.)
I won't go into the details of why Dale is selling them.

All IBM XT era drives. I have, have had or have given away at least one of
these before. Find a good working ibm xt and a genetic controller with a
manual and a copy of Spinrite software and test 'em. These are all
stiction prone and bad cap vulnerable.

I'd suspect that at least a few of these were from PERQ systems, given
their provenance. Vertex V150s and Miniscribes were commonly used in
the T2 models. As another listmember mentioned, Dave Gesswein's MFM
emulator will image these (and can decode PERQ hard drive formats.)
Probably. I didn

Yeah, the later models used 5.25" media; the rare PERQ 2 used 8"
Micropolis drives, and the PERQ 1/1A used 14" Shugart SA-4000 drives.
Ok, is there a picture of a Micropolis 8 inch anywhere? If so I can
watch for it. The other oddball is the Miniframe, that box had no drives
any idea what they
