** Christian, thank you for taking the time to reply.    I'd like to ask 
you a question re your RTE-M off-list... would you kindly send me your 
email?    js at cimmeri.com     --   I tried your 
"cc at informatik.uni-stuttgart.de" address a few times but it bounces back.

** I am very impressed with your collection.    How did you get a 9122C 
working?

** Yes, it looks like we'll be forced to use SIMH to try to generate a 
CS/80 compatible primary tape.
