That can rapidly turn into "Does he WANT to be found?"
When he did a project, even a major one, it was with an implicit promise
of a REASONABLE period of support. No

Actually, it is almost that ;-)
I have a similar system, the fl100 floppy drive system,
To elaborate on what I said earlier, consider the following set of
definitions for the CPC-6128 as marketed by Schneider:
