Xyplex might still have the software available, they had a website as of a
year ago.

I guess it isn't quite a classic, yet. I imagine it was made in the early
to mid '90s.

I've got a dual floppy drive unit for one of these somewhere. I think it
is labeled bad, but it's probably a simple logic board problem. If ya
think you'll need it, drop me an email and I'll look for it. The whole
unit slides into an empty slot on the terminal server chassis, so I don't
know if it will fit your terminal server or not.

I recently bought a Synoptics 3000 series chassis and then found a pair of
terminal server cards for it, so I probably won't ever need the Xyplex
drive unit I ended up with. I'd actually like to find 3-4 more of these
Synoptics chassis and various cards to go in them.
