I would like to find a home for a small collection (say 2 cubic yards)
of computer hardware and software and parts which date from 80s and
90s.
I used to have a business specialising in portable computer systems
(toshiba, sharp, etc.) and repairs thereof.
I need to dispose of this stuff and would like some ideas before I
take it to the skip...
Why?
There's a lot of unusual stuff, eg. complete box set of OS2 Warp, Of
Autocad (5 orig boxes); of Novell ; of pci graphics cards
complete....It is not commonplace stuff.
I am retired with no time to find organisations, or persons who would
benefit from sorting through all this. It has to be take as one lot,
and I can help with local transport to Hoxtead if needed.
There's an organized filing cabinet with 3-1/2 floppies containing
software and drivers etc. another stack of plastic drawers with
connectors, adapters, unusual bits.IMG_0512.JPG
It is located in central London SW7, and can be picked up. I do not
want payment, but I would prefer to know that the proceeds from
selling it on go to a good cause, like hackspace, or equivalent retro
museum.

Any plans to preserve the software by making disk and ISO images?
