While I'm dreaming... the Uniquad boards would make pretty neat nodes for
a network. (Look at the descriptions of device descriptors in the OS-9/68000
manuals; you'll see a variant tag named NET!) Hard disks are cheaper than
I thought (a recent ad in *Byte* shows Shugart 604s (I am Schulz-like with
respect to these disks and their quality or speed, and you may insert your
favorite disclaimer here, too) for $160), so, *if* they will talk SASI to
the controller on the Uniquad board, you could have a pretty respectable
box on its own for $2K, much less as a net node.
