Merch's phone number is out there and there's a reference dated July 2020 so he's probably still around; why not call & see.

Re: [M100] Merch's old Tandy 600 archive
really irks me when people respond like that we're talking about history that is literally disappearing before our eyes and some people who claim to be fans or preservers or what have you - just cannot be bothered and it is infuriating and really sad.
