There were 2 960Bsin that lot; I'm thinking they were the CAM to the Applicon CAD. They had DS44 (Diablo 44) drives with them as well. No idea whether they were in working condition, but that whole lot was in a mess, and no idea what software might have been on them. Never did find out who got that whole lot. Hopefully it wasn't all scrapped. Trying to ascertain whether there is any software in the TI archive at SMU. Someone who's been there twice doesn't think so, but I've asked him to keep an eye out when he goes again soon. jbdigriz
