I think Dave Engvall in Washington State has one running, although he has had
a lot of problems. We are trying to figure out what the trouble is, but he seems
to have static electricity or something that blew his boards up when he unplugged
things to reconfigure his physical setup.

Matt Shaver had a set, but I think he has passed his interest in the project
over to Ray Henry.

Right now, I have the boards working with a Mar-2000 version of EMC, running on
the Red Hat 5.2 (Linux kernel 2.0.36) with RT patch 09J.

I have the BDI 2-12 CDROM up on a machine, and will be working over the next
few weeks to get all the PPMC hardware and software working with this version.
