I am the proud new owner of a DECsystem 2020 (KS-10).  I bought it
from a reseller in Canada but it did not come with any paperwork
indicating who last owned it.  I would like to get the license
(Tops-10 or Tops-20) transferred to me so that I'm legitimate.  Since
the reseller from whom I bought the machine was not able to be
helpful, I thought I'd try getting DEC to help me.  I have managed to
acquire the necessary forms for license transfer, but I need to find
out who the last registered owner of CPU number MR-4344 was so that I
can contact them and get their signature on the license transfer
paperwork.  Nobody within DEC has been able/willing/whatever to help
me.  Large systems group tells me to get in touch with my local
office; my local office is clueless and says that because I want to
trace a CPU that I would have to talk to some one on the national
level.  Am I going about this the wrong way?  Is there a DEC Ombudsman
Office that takes care of such things?  Help!
