    Oh great, now what am I gonna do with my PRO-380?? :-)

Send it my way? :-) Especially if it has a CNA.
I have a -380 with the bitmap and extra memory, but no ethernet. It's occasionally been on HECnet, but using a serial line connection. (BEA::)

    FWIW, the DEQNA (M7504) does have an 8051 - it's at the back, next to the
handle and the three LEDs.

Saw Paul speculate on that one. I have no idea myself, and I have always been under the impression that the darn thing was done in discrete logic. Oh well... :-)
