	It appears that i shot from the hip with my last question.
Now that i've had time to wade through the archive files, nearly
everything i asked was answered there.  My apologies for taking up
net space under those circumstances; and my great thanks for the 
info provided by Robert Heller, James Jones, Bob Larson and Jim
Omura.  Of course, as is too often the case, the answers generate
more questions:
	(1)  It appears that in a period of only 3 months, Bob
Larson started and then terminated a PD library of OS/9-68k.  I 
never saw a message of anyone else offering to pick it up.  Is
there a(n) (ARPA.)net accessible directory of same?  [no, my site
won't allow any "anonymous" accessible space.]
	(2)  Does anyone know if the back issues of DTACK GROUNDED
can still be purchased?  at the same address listed in 1985?
	(3)  I've seen the ad for Sculptor.  It is priced right in
there with dbase III+, is it anywhere near as good?
	(4)  I noticed a February 4 reference by James Jones to the
very system that got my attention on the 68K.  Is there anyone out
there that has actually seen/used one of these system boards
described in Radio Electronics (& "mc" magazine?)
	(5)  I vaguely remember seeing a 68K board offered, about a
year ago, in a DEC specific publication, that ran on the Q22 bus.
Is anyone familiar with this?  [I've looked for recent ads - no luck.
	(6)  I found references to the following, who (have) supplied
S-100 compatible CPU boards: Compupro/Viasyn, Cromemco, Digicomp, and
Ultrascience.  Indication was, compupro had dropped support of its
68K hardware.  Can anyone tell me if any of these are still active 
suppliers (and how to contact them)?

	"...of course my opinion differs from 'most everyone else!  If it
 were the same, i'd probably have to change it, lest i remain in error."
