I have a couple of Andromeda cards here somewhere. Haven't used them lately as disks are getting real hard to find. I do have the documentation (about a dozen typed pages) and I should have the software here somewhere as well. But another copy would be nice in case I can't find mine when I need them. :-) I wonder what the chances are some of these third party devices could be added to SIMH for historical reasons if nothing else. I know someone once talked about Terak emulation but I don't know if it ever got anywhere. bill
