Grim is right. Intel was extremely dedicated to destroying SW. When we were
buying from them in that time period we never got any SW. Saw large bins of
Intel disks on their way to destruction. Sad.
I have the pinboard tester for the Biin CPU card. It came out surplus in a
later lot we did not have to certify destruction on. I have full docs on it
too. It is a classic museum piece, and I bet nearly the only piece of Biin
left.
I will try to get pictures up within the next few weeks. It is buried in
storage.
