If I could afford it I wouldn't sweat the shipping cost.

I think someone had posted what board did the graphics.  Has that ever 
been given consideration for being added to SIMH for the 11?

I'd love to run Lander, which I think is running on the system as shown.

To Al:  There was also a system like this at USL, which I wish had been 
conveyed to you.  I suspect it was not.  There was a new in the box 
replacement CRT because someone had had the system halt and burned the 
phosphor.  You had to watch the system and never let the dot stop.  If 
it stopped at a spot on the phosphor in the on position, you'd etch the 
phosphor.

Ours (USL) never ran anything but Lander, so until someone with a 
project came along, we were saving the tube.  The burn didn't affect 
lander much at all.

thanks
Jim
