Actually I think it *almost* falls under the "really cool hardware" 
exemption, by virtue of the 1600SW panel.  :^)  I *so* want one of 
those for my o2/270!  The problem is I can't justify the cost of 
buying one on ePay.

Besides, from the PC HW point they actually do sound like interesting systems.
