A friend of mine managed to scrounge a couple of "samples" from a manufacturer
or supplier's rep when I needed one.  I don't recall which manufacturer(s)
make this chip.

OK, if nobody has any idea where to get the 26LS32-3 DEC chips I need, can
anyone point me to the right DEC phone number?  Or, the DEC phone number
that is most likely to get me pointed in the right direction the most quickly?

I had the same problem.  The cause is that the code that tests for sufficient
memory drops a bit if you have "too much" available memory.  My workaround
is to run Kermit and push to a new command shell
(three times!) until I have gotten available memory down to about 550K.
Any other sufficiently large combination of memory-resident programs should
also work.

How much memory is in Jim Greely's 'bows?  I've been buying them with 10
meg HD and 512KB or 640KB for $450, from a dealer in Texas.  One even came
through with a RBW clock.  We have an immediate need for another one.
