Re: Plotter + Tape drive
OK, I now have 4 expressions of interest. If Philipp can arrange something in a reasonable timescale he has priority Otherwise I think Peter Brown's collection from the Medway towns is likely to be best. The other Peter from Ireland can be a reserve and Dave Wade is definitely still interested but has deferred to Philipp and given timing difficulties should probably be a reserve. Last chance for anyone else to join this list.

Re: Plotter + Tape drive
It is SCSI. You are one of two people interested both of whom have transport problems. I REALLY don't want to pack it for transport though there a few courier firms that could send it collecting from here (I'd probably put DPD as the most reliable that knows this location) If you're keen enough the way I might suggest if you're in a reasonably accessible part of Germany (Germany is a big place, Bavaria is probably too far) would be to drive to Hook of Holland; take the ferry to Harwich; then drive here (Rayleigh Weir - less than an hour from Harwich) then return in a similar manner.

Hi, HP 88780 9-track tape drive (also several tapes "new" in packaging). Both were working when last powered-on but that was a couple of years ago.

RE: Plotter + Tape drive
Andy, Is this a Pertec or SCSI interface. If its SCSI I would be very interested. Might be challenging to collect in your time scales as I am in Spain at present and helping with a Makefest soon.

Plotter + Tape drive
Giving away ancient computer equipment (Essex England): I have a HP 7550A plotter and a HP 88780 9-track tape drive (also several tapes "new" in packaging). Both were working when last powered-on but that was a couple of years ago. I was going to give them to the computing history museum in Cambridge but they have had to decline for lack of space. If nobody claims and can collect from SS6 before the bank holiday (and preferably sooner!) they will go to the recycling centre (aka tip!) Warning - the tape drive is around 40Kg. I will also be offering these on another list. Soonest to collect has priority! Andy Holt ps Tony if you want these but cannot transport mail me and we'll see if a solution is possible.
