Fair enough. Could that bit be documented in the package.mask entry for the |
| 19 |
record, should anyone want to tackle trying to resurrect it, they'll know |
| 20 |
why it was masked and removed? |

Long down on my TODO list is to figure out how to replace the RTC and |
| 27 |
resurrect the Indy. Wesolows gave it to me years ago, and it was pretty |
| 28 |
chipper for a 150MHz box. But the disk drive died and I never got around to |
| 29 |
replacing it. Maybe one day... |
