I've had one encased in polycarbonate with the appropriate corrosive gasses substituted out. A variety of other measures have been taken to assure a good powerup upon removal. Including sealing power supply caps, separating insulated wires as needed (to protect from potential brittleness :-) complete system manuals on acid free paper. Scanned too.. A bootable solid-state disk image. a second power supply that has aerospace spec parts. shematics, and schematics for building 3 different-technology display devices. Also included are tools and notes and cd roms (in pc format). a variety of cards and accessories.. Even the socket springiness has been addressed to assure good contact, but also keeping the pcb in 100% factory dress.. etc. we'll put together several more. I'm not sure yet what steps are needed for say 500-1000 year storage though. But we're investigating. Keith
