Just found a 5 1/4" floppy marked "Rats". Probably from a B20.
I'll see if Al Kossow has a drive that can read it for preservation.

I have a bunch of B20 equipment (which I'd like to get rid of). None of
it's been used in at least 20 years, but I'm sure there are 5.25" drives
that can be made to work, and maybe even a system that will boot up. I'm
in San Diego.

You might want to contact the Computer History Museum to see if they
want it as a donation. That way, you even might get a tax deduction.

BTW, it is in Mountain View, just off the 101. It is a great place to
visit (of course, once they reopen).
