I had been holding off sending this to the list for some time since
I felt it to be too commercial-sounding... but I've seen so many
posts from people who have small disks on their uVaxen and MIPS
machines, I just had to post...

I have a number of RZ25s available.  If there is anyone interested
in such a disk for their machine, please contact me off-list about
price.  All are working and have been formatted and tested on an
Ultrix system (sorry... I haven't had the time to install NetBSD,
what with work and classes).
