Don't know how many people would buy a kit, but if the schematics
(for the original) and drivers were posted somewhere as a project
there might be some interest. OTOH, the monitor adapter seemed to
take off quite nicely, so maybe something like this in a SIMM
configuration would gain a following as well.

"In the time of Joseph McCarthyism, ..., I attempted
to explain each individual is wholly involved in the
democratic process, work at it or no. The results of
the process fall on the head of the public and he
who is recalcitrant or procrastinates in raising his
voice can blame no one but himself." -- Walt Kelly
