Depends on what you mean by access. :)

It would cost me several thousand dollars to cross the ocean and see if it
still boots. :-/

And then what do we do? 8-o

I must say, in all my hindsight at the half-century mark, I kind of wish I
had gone to the expense and trouble of putting a floppy disk drive
interface together on it before I took it to college with me. Really could
have put it to good use. That, and the oscilloscope I'd have bought to make
sure the thing was working right. Several college projects I could have
gotten more than a grade from, including the own-design 6809 board that I
never finished. Something to use as a terminal can be huge, too.
