MIKE'S MUSEUM PAGES

OK, OK - I know this is a long ways from being a real museum, but during the many years of computer work and other general electronics I have accumulated a gob of junk.. err maybe a large quantity of vintage and unique historical computing gear. I had always thought that I would open a wing of my shop as a small display and share this with those who enjoy looking at it. 

There is always some fun in showing early hard drives for example. When you see a full sized 5.25" drive that weighs maybe 20 pounds, and only has 5 megabytes of storage next to a 2.5" laptop drive that holds 80,000 mb - its quite a visual comparison. If I had one of the older 13mb 12" hard disks from the early IBMs.. ahh..  well you see the problem. I collect more and more and its starting to take over my shop storage area and part of the shop too!

I have recently started a clean out campaign in my storage area to help document, photograph and then in some cases, eliminate items that are in my collection. Rather than toss some of this stuff out, I have put some recently on eBay to help find it a home where other collectors can appreciate it.  So the first pages here are from items that I have recently sold or are selling currently.   At least this way I have pictures of these items, and someone else can store them.
