Hi Bob,
CHM has one - the desk model with a console monitor on a flexible neck.
Do have that model or the desk-side unit the size of a two drawer file
cabinet? I remember the former from my days at HP in the late-70s, early
80s. Very very nice product design.
Do you have any software for your machine?

Out of curiosity, was this restriction ever relaxed? How
many people
have one of these in their collection?
Cheers,

I have one but have not yet tried to power it up.
