My father worked for IBM in the Netherlands for more than 30 years,
starting as a CE in the late 1950'ies. Last year he was diagnosed with
Alzheimer, and over the past few months my siblings and me have been
emptying his apartment and storage room, and we've come across a sizeable
quantity of IBM "stuff", from manuals for the 650 to old square cm
"integrated circuits" and even a magnetic core memory card. My siblings
weren't in the least interested in any of it, so I took it, and although
it's nice to look at, our house is already full enough as it is, so...
If anyone thinks they can offer a good home to these things, and I will,
hopefully soon, put pictures of everything that surfaces on my website,
feel free to contact me off this list and we can take it from there. You'll
most definitely be paying for shipping (from Lithuania), and based on what
I'm going to find out on fleabay, I might ask for a bit more.
We at LSSM (http://www.lssmuseum.org/) are interested, but only
slightly so. We focus on complete hardware rather than ephemera. (we
get machines up and running) We'll give this stuff a home, and scan the
manuals and upload to Bitsavers, but only if no one else is interested.
