I am in frequent contact with the daughters of Hans.
And I have already forwarded a couple of reactions, and will do so if needed.

We, Ton van der Zwet, Fekko Stubbe, Camiel Vanderhoeven and myself have been to Helmond to collect VAXes, Alphas, Itaniums, and (sometimes unique) documentation, followed by a long ride through the Netherlands.
At our last VMS-sig meeting I passed on the info about Hans.
and the possibility to get some of this equipment.
