Don't forget the original pizza box, the Interdata 2901 based bit-slice
machine.

Or the superminis, like the SEL 32/87, ECL, with a 50 -count it- 50 MHz
clock.

Or, a real computer, the EAI 231R (I confess, it was a little before my
time, but there was one in the test area used as part of a test fixture).

I still have a couple of 8" drives that have been wrapped in plastic for
about 30 years. Time to clean up.
