William Barden Jr has passed on according to a message I got quite 
some time back that is not on this machine.  It might be in the thor 
mailbox on my amiga, in which case I'd have to resuscitate it.  That 
would take days probably, as the boot I had worked out was actually a 
series of silent reboots, each one adding more 3rd party facilities 
until I finally had a working machine with an 040 cpu and 64 megs of 
ram & a decent video card.  Then I'd have to find a DDS2 tape drive 
to hook up and read a stack of backup tapes I still have, there was 
about 20GB on that 30GB drive when the drive committed hari-kari.

I don't know if his widow survives, or howto reach her if she does.
Good luck on a google search, seems there are at least a thousand 
Bardens, a fine old scottish name I believe.
