    Guess I opened my big mouth didn't I..........

    I went and took a count of what I actually have.  Turns out, there wasn't
quite as much as I thought there was.  I was unable to locate any prom boards or
prom programmers :-( , but I did find three of the expander boards.  I can send
these out in the mail, which souldn't tax my resources too much.  Bigger problem
is probably going to be finding the manual, but I think I know where that is.

    So, Old Crow gets one (send me your address).  Anybody else interested?
