Sounds cool. I wish I had a copy.

I have several of these machines. In fact I have enough machines for a
complete network. However, I don't know what operating condition mine
are in. I got them over a year ago but haven't had time to play around
with them.

I know I have the 1500, 1520, 2200 and 1800 model processors. My
recollection is fuzzy so those numbers may be off, and I'm probably
missing one or two models.
