I've wgetted (wgot?) that FAQ already, very useful. =)

Hmm, perhaps I should have picked up some of those free HP-IB cables now that
I think of it. I have a friend who's got a double HP brand 3,5" drive (those
drives are really vintage!) with what seems like a HPIB interface. Or is that
GPIB? I'm blissfully ignorant regarding those systems.
As for BNC monitors, I haven't got any, but I came up with a solution which
might work: I've got several VGA->BNC cables, and with a gender changer, it
should plug into the male end of a VGA monitor. =)
At least as long as it supports SOG (sync on green)...

So tell me, how does a 310 feel? I was quite relieved to find that I had a
380, but I suppose a 310 could be a quaint experience as well.
