I tried, years ago, to donate them to UCC but I think the CS department head thought I wanted something for them, like a job.

Wow. How many are up for giving away? 😉

Seriously, though – email me, I too have vintage Mac stuff (software, hardware) I hang onto, but’ll swap/give away if there’s any interest…

If you ask my wife, she would love it if I gave away the whole lot. But I think I’d miss them. I wouldn’t mind giving them to a group, university or tech school who could show them to students who have never seen anything other than Microsoft computers. 😉

If you are talking about me taking them off your hands, see the above, about my wife. Besides my shed is full.

What would be best is a Cork Museum of Computing, or an Irish one.

Fan-bloody-tastic. I was jokingly going to mention a PDP and you flippin have one. And a NEXT!

I always wanted an Osborne when I was a young nipper. Some day I’d love to have a collection of all the main UK 8-bit ones from my teenage computing heyday: various Sinclairs (I’d kill for a QL), Oric-1, Dragon 32, BBC Micro, Enterprise/Elan/Flan, Jupiter Ace, Amstrad CPC and and and….

I actually have 3 PDP machines, the PDP-8/M, the heathkit H-11a which is a PDP-11/3 (LSI-11) and the DEC-PRO350 which is a PDP-11/23, even have some spare LSI-11 CPU boards. The PDP-8 is a prize as it has two 2K Core Memories in it.
