Been there, done that, (still) got the IMSAI.
Been there, done that too, got the tee shirt, (still got the Altair!)
I still have the Imsai, Altair, Poly88, Cromemco, Sol20, Vector88 and a
bunch of other very weird stuff (Tarbell ACI, ASR33 teletype, OpLabs
paper tape reader, etc., etc.)
Say, does anyone of you hoard... er, I mean archivists have any DEC
equipment with a 8 inch RX01 or RX02 floppy drive (or equivalent) ??
if so, I've got a few RT-11 SSSD floppies I'd like to have imaged, if
you feel like helping out a fellow hoarder. lemme know.

The thing I love about this Linux group is the camaraderie, those of us
who come from historical times on the same page. I think I've got my
dad's old ultra modern TRS80 somewhere.
Gotta LUV it.
