Yeah, but the Mt. Xinu calendar that I donated through their application
process is still missing from their collection. Other items that I
donated are there.

Looks like the B1000 is still in the collection at CHM.

I'd be very surprised if CHM "lost" an artifact of that importance and size.

Does the Computer History Museum want any of this?
Why would you ask this?
Do you want it to wind up in a warehouse or behind a velvet rope to
never be used again?
The CHM already has a 4/260 ;)
The CHM has a formal artifact donation application and review process and
someone would need to transport the stuff to Mtn View if it is accepted.
Then again there are a couple odd things going on there. An item (the last
Mt. Xinu calendar) that I donated before the pandemic still hasn’t appeared
in their catalog. The Burroughs B1000 in their collection is now gone. (I
was talking to them about getting access to it to take photos of it but
life got in the way and I never got down there.)
