OK, what do I win for this machine??? I am holding in my lap as I type this missive:::: (Drum Roll Please) D03-001123 The number is heat stamped in the case. It also has a bright green round sticker with PM written in ball point. The ROMs are actually E-PROMS, 1 per socket with dark blue labels QLPM 0000 and QLPM 4000 hand written, the 8749 has a yellow sticker that has IPCx 0.7 hand written on it. Anyone know where in the hierarchy of machines this fits??? -- Paul Holmgren Hoosier Corps #33, L-6 2 57 300-C's in Indy
