Actually I have one... It says 11/05 on a 10 1/2" box (one of the first
knocked out). I will be putting pictures of it up on my website with the
8/s, honeywell, 34,45,73,accuray,etc...

No, I was hoping for one with the usual power strips already attached. I
have enough r-series spares to design the intel 4004 with flip chips.
