Aw, you guys are amateurs-- we have QUANTITIES of old stuff like HP
2100s (one that still runs), 2748 tape readers, tons of paper tapes
(including the complete diagnostic set for the 2100 and for the
Memorex 601 Disc Drive), 7900 power supplies, 9895 flexible disc
readers, 7970B tape drives and tons more. Not to mention all the NEWER
stuff from the 70s and 80s like HP 1000 E Series (some unused), HP
3000s and parts from virtually the whole line (Dozens of Micro 3000s
alone), who knows what else. Then we got manuals from the start of
time (is that Mr. Hewlett's handwriting?) and cardsets that could fill
tractor trailers. Come to think of it, why am I so proud of all
this... ;-)
