Thanks for the offer Roy, but basically I've moved on, to a 100% linux 
house, a garage full of metal carving machines I've converted to cnc, and 
a 3d printer menagery. That coco3 has been hacked up, running on an old 
xt power supply for the last 20 years, a 6309 cpu, 2 megs of ram. one of 
your video convertors and a color lcd touch screen I never got around to 
converting my joydrv to listen to. And I have several spares in boxes, 
but not the time left. Been in the shop for engine rebuilds, and its 
running well, a couple times now, and beginning to feel like I'm running 
out of time at 87 yo. Put it in someones hands who will be creative with 
it.

I finally discovered OpenSCAD, and am keeping a 3d printer busy with my 
creations, like an extension shelf to mount a B axis drive on a 6040 
milling machine that will in turn carve a hard maple stick into a screw 
for a woodwork bench vise. Buttress thread, 2 start, nuts already 
printed.

I do appreciate the offer though, thank you Roy.
