Right! It was a last minute thing for David, but it worked (almost)

Did you make it to the downstairs exhibit much? I think that's what was

I'll have my PDP-8/M (and maybe a PDP-8/E
too) showing off my SerialDisk

Kyle,
I wish you'd said something about this at VCFe; I would love to have

Although, I imagine if you're seeking back and forth across the disk,
SerialDisk may end up catching up. Either way, it's certainly very usable,
even at 38400, which was what David was using.
