  After reading that page, I nominate Jochen "ClassicCmp Diplomat-of-
the-Year."
  So I've found several links discussing using NetBSD to convert the
Quasijaran .Z to .gz, but none of them say _how_. How? It looks like I
need to install BSD4.3-Quasijarus0a and build gzcompat so I can
uncompress the archives and build a Quasijarus0a install tape....

  Erk! I missed this on the first read. That might have been a
show-stopper... Thanks.

  Need info on the cable/bulkhead? I have them, but I'm saving it. The
GPX board seems a lot more common than the cab kit, and I'll want it
someday.

  Speaking of, I've sort of blindly assumed that "cab kit" is "cabinet
connector kit" and refers to everything from the adapter board to the
bulkhead plate and connector. Is that more-or-less accurate?
