I think so. Maybe it was 1988. I remember for certain that I started when I
still had an MFM disk. By 1990, I had a Starboard and a 200M SCSI drive
($375, used).

I had to help debug the package because I was first talking to some sort of
SystemV machine running HDB UUCP and there were problems establishing the
start of the conversation at the "Shere" stage of the protocol.
