We also have several "old" DSP80's, DSP80A's and DSP90's out there
on the Ring - and are trying to figure out what to do with them 
when SR10 hits us.  Rather than a stripped down SR10, however,
I would prefer to see a real cheap hardware upgrade that would
allow us to continue using those machines.  If they can sell 
a diskless DN3000 for $5K, they ought to be able to ship a
cpu upgrade at a reasonable price.  And since those machines are
still under maintenance, if SR10 will not run on them, they ought
to upgrade them for a truly nominal charge.  But I am sure that
is wishful thinking.
