It is! Spring's just turned a bit wet and stormy, but it'll fine up soon
enough.

Fair enough - we should have most of the part numbers, but I don't have
them to hand and we'd best pull them all out to be sure. Happily most of
that can happen before a shutdown!

As a start, at least some of the CPU boards are 540-2555-01 Rev.50 .
Will that take the newer CPU modules? and will it run at 100MHz if the
rest of the system did?
