If that was the little Eastern Air that a guy on an inside wall of the
garage had, I am the lucky owner.

Shall I gloat about this evening's achievement of green digits in EMC,
too? (on a $70 P200/64mb ram swapfest special with $10 1024x768
monitor?) Maybe I'll wait until I've got it all hooked up to the
scrounged light machines sherline lathe. Which for sake of comparison
uses L/R drives. I'm trying to think how to add the $1 stepper to the
Z axis of the mill column I have for it, as the little motor is rated
1.4 v 4.7 amps, which would be too much for the L297/298 chopper
drives one would otherwise choose for a sherline-class machine.

Seriously, I'm sorry to have just missed meeting a fellow list member.

And for anyone within an hour of the Boston area, come to the next MIT
flea!
