hey, im working at CMU right now, which lab were you in? maybe they still
have that stuff hidden in some closet somewhere *grin* 
I know SCS just got rid of a bunch of 3000/400's, i got a small pile of
them for the cclub (of course, theyre running NetBSD), but alas, i didnt see
any KZTSA's in them.. ive been looking for one (or more) of these for
a while.. 

happy hacking,

I have OSF1 sources, which should (i can look tonight if i remember, when 
i get home) have enough to figure out how to support them.

on an unrelated note, those OSF1 sources do include source for the 
support of the accelerated grafix cards.. *wink wink nudge nudge*
