Victor made a great machine. The I/O was good. The display was great, etc.
Potential and current Victor owners might wish to dial up Mike Connick's
BBS in Reston, VA. It runs on a Victor 9000 and there is often a fair
amount of discussion about the Victor. The BBS number is 703-479-9459. It
is quite popular so be prepared to dial often.
