  Thanks, Margaret. I'm replying to the net because it seems to me that I miss
a lot due to people sending direct all the time. It's not as if this list is
overly busy. 

  One thing I'm curious about: I talked to a Cromemco guy once who said that
their 68000 boards are not really compatible with IEE-696. Would you have any
idea if that's true, and whether much is required for mods? I think he said
they require 16-bit memory access. It seems to me IEE-696 says it's optional.
All my boards are 8-bit only. Doesn't sound like a minor difference to me :-). 

  BTW, I never did hear anything positive regarding LIFE or or the newer
ADVENTURE.
