A while back, there was a small batch of units that were for sale to
commercial developers.  I think there was more demand than supply,
and these are definitely beta machines (as far as the software goes),
so CATS is more selective than usual about who qualifies to get one.
I'm not sure if there are still some available, but I beleive that
Brenda Billings (brenda@cbmvax) is the one to ask for information.
