I've got one of these, but no interface board for 8e or 11/34.
Anyone know where one might be found?
It'd be cool to try to bring it up.  Probably no device driver support in
any later OS's, but at least I could try writing some machine code to see if
it works. 

Would be cool if someone has a copy of CAPS out there.  Does anyone know if
you
could boot off of these things?
