Honeywell DPS6 rescue in Nevada

Due to the inability of more one individual to follow up on 'firm' 
commitments, I must now dispose of a Honeywell DPS-6
mainframe and matching 9Trk tape drive.

   This is "free, come and get it" - and there are loading facilities 
on-site to do this.  It will easily fit in the bed of most
full-sized pickup trucks. We just need it to go away, fast.

   This gear is located in the Carson City area of northern Nevada - about 
a 5 hour (beautiful!) drive from the Silicon Valley.
It wieghs all up about 600 pounds.  For the right amount of bribe-money, 
I'd even consider delivering it myself.

  OTHERWISE, this equipment will be broken up for scrap and the cabinets 
taken to the junk yard - it is in storage at a friend's
and he needs the space the computer is currently taking.

   If there is no interest by this time next week, we're going to get out 
the torches and the chainsaws - there are no other
options.

   Speak up, Folks!  Don't make me have to kill a rare machine!!!


Cheers

John
