I am sure that Vulcan has gotten enough grief that they want to spin
them off into foundations-like entities like what happened with EMP.
There will lose a lot of good will otherwise, which will translate into

There were two Osborne floppy formats. Both CP/M.
IIRC, the original format was "Single Density" (FM), 10 sectors per track,
with 256 bytes per sector (similar to the TRS80-Model-1. That will
require FM/SD capability. Most NEC FDCs did not support that. Dave

Another Allen non-profit institution, the Museum of Pop Culture (formerly
the Experience Music Project, then EMP, then Experience Music Project and
Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (“EMPSFM” for short-ish), then EMP
Museum) is now open Fridays through Mondays.
That is good news. Ok,
Wasn’t there a question as to whether LCM + L was ever going to open again
because Paul Allen’s estate’s executors are closing down things that don’t
interest them (permanently?), and COVID-19 provided an excuse to completely
lay off staff? The website still says “closed ... for now”.

The H960 has a whole constellation of appurtenances which can add to the

stabilizer feet, etc, etc.
I happen to have an empty H960 (well,

I am not aware of a single document that lists the weights of various

RK05 110 lbs
