Symbolics

Howdy;

I've long been intrigued by Symbolics LISP machines and I finally had the
opportunity to get one to poke at. (English grammar now requires me to
point out that I took advantage of that opportunity. (: )

I've been thumbing through some of the docs to get a better idea of how
things work, which effort has lead me to two questions:

1) Where am I likely to find a mouse for this beast? I haven't one and it
appears as though the environment expects to use one.

2) Can the FEP software be loaded onto a virgin disk by someone other than
Symbolics? The disk in my system may have problems, and as near as I can
tell the machines arrived new with at least a bare modicum of software on
the disk.

Inquiring minds want to know.

ok
r.
