Chris,
one question on the conclusion: was the Mandelbrot program set to use floating

my institution is disposing of what I think is a VME chassis here in San
Antonio. That is not particularly accessible by Seattle transit, but if you are
willing and able to pay for shipping I think we can arrange to get it to you
instead of our dumpster.
The unit has no power supply

circa 1980 (+/- a year or 4). It would have been in a separate room from the
