Thanks for the link.  I've already been analyzing that.  Tomorrow will 
pull it out, clean it off and see what more details can be had.  The KDJ 
was an interesting surprise.

We may have enough to do the conversion talked about in the articles he 
has, but they aren't for the faint hearted w/o reading all that he has 
there.

We may have the RQ controller which is pretty much an essential bit to 
have.  The disk drive is another matter.  Will take some rummaging 
around to find a suitable candidate.

Thanks
Jim
