I just read whatever I could about this, but do you have any further information? I'm fascinated.

All I've got is what I wrote, and what's on NDMA's site about it.

I wish I'd kept that floppy. It was a full working copy, and the printed instruction manual. I have no idea how I acquired it, at this late date.

Perhaps it was sitting around in the server 'room' where I was working: lots of engineers there (including my boss) and it seems like the kind of thing he'd have been interested in.

It sounds very interesting. I just emailed NDMA to see if I can somehow acquire a copy. I'd be more than happy to pay for it.

Big ideas definitely take time to catch on.
