Whoopsie .... I forgot about the A4000T. I didn't get one of those. My
A-4000 got bricked by me doing a rookie trick - hot-swapping printers 
without powering down. Fried the CIA chip(s) which proved to be more-or
-less "unobtanium" at that late date.

I may start casting my net for an A-3000/040 - and see if there is to
be had an ethernet card to allow me to hook up to the net with more than
dial-up.

E-Bay here I come.   Bv)=
