All I have are the cards, but I will go looking in the boxes for other
stuff. I wonder if its possible to get any of the software? Sure sounds
like a fun toy, these were used I think in some class at UC Irvine, and as
usual what shows up in surplus are just parts.

Two people have already asked for one, so I think it is best if I wait on
sending more out until at least one of them reports back on the actual
devices.
