(I'll post to each on the list this AM, by 9 or so (Browser's been
crashing or I'd have gotten to SEND this last night!;  I'll be evicting
this browser version!) - so if you believe you are on the list, and
don't get an e-mail from me by 10 AM or so today (Pacific Daylight Time)
then bug me if you want to be on the list.)

  I did not receive an e-mail from TimeLine yesterday, so I guess it'll
be Thursday.

 [Charles, please consider this rev. 0 mod 6]:

 "BURNING QUESTIONS":
        Does the on-board IDE controller support HD's over 527 Mb?
          If so, How, specifically?  {LBA, EDPT, ???}
        [Ans: Maybe.]
        What speed are the UARTs?  {SCM web pages don't cover these
          chips, anymore.)
        [Ans: Huh?!]
        What are the power interface needs, voltage, current, etc.?
        [Ans: 24V wall lump]
        Is EDO Ram compatible with this machine?
        [Ans: Huh?!]
        Is the floppy cable standard?  Is the Epson floppy drive
          (SMD-1140?) included, if not, how much to add one?
        [Ans: Huh?!]
        Is the PCMCIA Dock actually included, or not?
        [Ans: Interface IS, Dock IS NOT, unclear which dock it
          is designed for.  Someone's checking on this, will share!]
        Shipping: HUB is apparently required;  Can they ship just
boards,
          or ship the entire mess to here & I pull the boards, or ???
        [Ans: Unless we buy 50+ no price break, probably no shipping
          price break until 50ish units either (then use a truck instead
          of UPS to ship, cheaper yet maybe slower.)]

 DEFINITELY:                      [9]
 PROBABLY:                       [10]
 MAYBE:                           [1]
 Remotely Possibly:               [0]
