Well, if Ken wants to continue working on the 68LC040 problem, I can 
probably donate him a machine for a while.  I know he must live in NJ if 
he is attending rutgers as his e-mail address suggests.  I live in NJ as 
well, so I could easily donate my Quadra 605 which has a LC040, if that 
would help speed up the process of getting LC040 support. 

I did try the 1.3 Generic #1 a while ago, and since I have gotten 1.3 
Generic #61 to work on my IIvx I will try it on my Q605 as well.

So, Ken, if you want the machine for a few days/weeks/months just leeme 
know and I can bring it to you...=)
