All images on this page were shot in September of 1998 during a tour of the Moffet Field Historical Computer Collection which is maintained by The Computer Museum History Center. The tour was arranged for attendies of the second annual Vintage Computer Festival by Mr. Sam Ismail, producer of the VCF. His efforts in obtaining access for this large group of computer enthuiasts is greatly appreciated!

A request which will be a bit out of the ordinary for this site. Please do not reproduce the images shown on this page for any public or commercial use. A substantial part of the funding which goes toward maintaining this collection comes from licensing of images of the items and artifacts in the Moffet Field collection for commercial use, and we do not wish to adversely impact this effort, since the curators were kind enough to allow us to bring our cameras on the tour. If you have need for images of these artifacts for public display or commercial use, please contact The Computer Museum History Center for details.
