had time to trouble shoot it yet. FWIW the guy that went to the
Goddard SFC auction didn't get the two 9000/520s that were there. He
said they were too big and too heavy and he would have had to leave
somethingelse that he wanted more behind in order to bring them back
so he didn't bother. I'll try to find out who got them. If I do, I'll
post a message on the list and perhaps someone else can pick them up.
It would be a shame if those got scrapped. I hope you're able to track
them down. If you do, and they're available, I hope some kind souls on
the list will take it upon themselves to rescue them.
