I did find a mention of Rob as head of a computer startup in the Sydney area around 1984. 

Is there any chance that any of your alumni can put me in touch with these two again? 

I'll leave it to David to introduce the controlfreaks and their marvelous emulator work to CDA.  
I'd like to mention another aspect: the preservation of the few remaining relics from "the good old days." 
Al Kossow has done a fantastic job preserving the available CDC manuals and software on 
his site: www.bitsavers.org  I'd like to appeal to your members to add any material they have, 
that is not already on Al's site.  They don't have to part with it, just send Al scans.  
Have a look - I think you'll be surprised.

I have been letting Al scan all my old manuals and software.  
They are pretty extensive with everything released on 160, 160-A, 8090, 8092, and associated 
peripherals and software.  
We still have to dig some of them out of the morass in my garage, 
but Al has posted a good start on his web site.

My own interest is in the 160-A and 3L00 machines.  To have a toy to play with in my dotterage, 
I found a 160-A still in one piece and operational!  I need to do some cosmetic work on it.  
I have a 161 in horrible shape, probably still needs 200+ hours of restoration.  
Recently, I found a working 167-2 card reader to add.

Of course, all of this belongs in a museum and will probably end up in one during the next 24 months. 

I've been running down every lead I can find to locate a 3L00 and get it up and running.  
There were at least two that were in private hands but are now gone to the precious metals scrapper.  
I think I've found a 3300 mainframe; it was still operational 5 years ago.  
But I will have to drive 1500 miles to see if it still exists.  
The owner has been in a senior care home and his family doesn't know what is still in his 
garage and storage areas.

A lot of the old peripherals are operational at the Cyber-Cray site in Germany.  
You should definitely add a link to that site to yours.

I work at Western Digital, a disk drive company here in Southern California.  
Amazingly, there are about a dozen ex-CDC employees here, from the old Normandale and OK City operations.  
We get together occasionally over lunch and talk of the good old days of PED, IDP and MPI.

I never made it to Oz during my CDC days, but have since had the pleasure, spending 5 weeks there a few years ago.  
We are coming back in the next two years, to visit some places we missed, such as Perth and Darwin.  
Perhaps we could make one of your meetings, and meet some of you.
