Sorry Jason, I misread your email. Thought you were questioning my
discovery..
Wonder why IBM has called this machine a 5126 anyway ?

Also why hasn't someone jumped at the opportunity to purchase this fine
piece of equipment to tune up their automobile with ... <Grin>!!!

Its only 100 bucks and its the size of a large capacity washer, and weighs
500lbs..
It would be heaven to dissemble this monster and see what goodies lie within
it..
