Those guts seemed to think that everything they had was gold, they wanted
$100 for a butt set. I also saw the Vax but after the butt set I knew they
only wanted money. I came a way with an 1994 ARRL book for $5 and 6 28 pin
headers for $6 (the fine one for taking emulators and pluggin them into
a CPU socket). I tried ordering them from Digikey but always got the wrong
part. I think I'll skip next years show although they want me as a speaker
for the HA stuff I do. I'll think about it.
BTW the Sparc-20's were going for $400 complete. I have them in the lab
(at work) so I had no interest in them.
