  Well, after taking the Pro350 apart (at least, as apart as it can be taken
with all the rivets :( ), I found a couple of things. First, this thing has
no HD controller (bummer :( ), so does anyone know where I can find one of
those?

  Also, I found the following boards :

000034	PC350 Memory	(256K)
001002	CT100 Video Generator
002004	RX50 Controller Board

  Why is there a video board, & yet it doesn't seem to connect to the I/F
on the back of the case (where the terminal connects to)? It has a seperate
ribbon connector - for what kind of cable/device? Is there a list of cards
that can be put in the PC3x0 machines somewhere?

  Also, on the subject of the FAQ, the phone number for DEC is no longer in
service. The new number is 1-508-841-3564. And I talked to a guy at Venturcom
who was basically a salesperson, & of course he said "we don't support that
processor anymore." I asked him to check if they still had any copies of
Venix, & he said he'd check & get back to me. Does anyone have a copy that
they're willing to get rid of? From what the FAQ says, I need a copy of
Venix to run Un*x since the 350 apparently won't work with Berkeley's Un*x.

  Anyhow, any pointers would be appreciated. :)
