Maintaining old DEC stuff would indeed be a niche, so I can understand
that. However, someof the things I said still apply. For example, when
a DZ11 goes bad, do you actually fix the board  (I assume, of course,
that you use DZ11s)?. It does not really make sense to, from a
business perspective, since good ones are common as dirt and quite
available.
