That was me, my mail to you keeps bouncing because your ISP is paranoid
about my machine sending it. (It wants me to send it through PacBell's mail
server which won't work for a variety of reasons. Anyway, your mail reached
me fine. So send me your US Mail address and I'll put something in the mail
to you. Chad can vouch that I'm good for it :-) There are three things that
I think my qualify as a "front panel" on the 3800. One is the panel that
has the run/halt, reset, and three DSSI ID plug holders in it (typically I
refer to that as the disk bulkhead), then there is a metal grille type
panel that has a cutout for the disk bulkhead and the TK70 drive (that's
what I typically refer to as the front panel), and then there is the
plastic cover that covers the front of the machine and protects it from
dust (which I refer to as the 'door'). I've got spare front panel.

Good luck on that one. They aren't exactly rare, but they don't turn up too
often.
