        Thanks for the info. I just hooked my VT220 up to it and
booted it for the first time since moving it and it came right up
just fine. In fact, this was the first time using it with this
particular terminal as well. Once I get the DELQA I'll swap out the
hard drive and install the DELQA and see what happens.
