	I'm in Canada. In spite of "free trade" shipping is still expensive. My
personal funds are quite erratic (right now incoming = outgoing) so I
wouldn't be able to afford to pay for shipping. If you are in North
Dakota, Northern Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, or Montana I'd suggest a
day trip during July or August. We have a lot of local fairs and festivals
in that time. You could combine business with pleasure.

	In terms of testing the mechanisms, you could always connect them to a
Mac... Oddly enough I could use a 200MB unit for a Mac. I could throw
NetBSD on it and test it out. Like Wayne, I seem to be a place where
people donate their old machines... No Apple// SCSI cards though. ;-)
