Jon -

The Cabletron stuff would have been Phil Budne and me (Philip). I thought 
I had a line on some which would be retired by my place of work, but it 
didn't pan out, unfortunately. Somewhere back in the archives, I probably 
have some message about a way of buying one from Cabletron's "Good as 
New" department. I'll try to find it. But that wasn't a very attractive 
means of getting one of these, if memory serves. I did try calling around 
to various used Macintosh dealers, but no luck.

Phil got his on the air; mine is still back in the queue. I hope to graft 
mine onto a Vectorboard with an ISA edge connector so I can plug it into 
the pc532's expansion bus. Wouldn't that be a first?
