Hmm, part # 1391401, like the one I have hooked up to this NCD Xterm I'm
using for email ;-}

Considering _EVERYTHING_ I've gotten there has has an OS, (and all of the
previous user's data), I'll make sure I do that. Oh yeah, how do I log

AIX manuals (including a manual for the system) in a box of books I
grabbed there today.
