Jeff,
Hehe, I've been doing this stuff a while now as well, though a relative
newcomer to Linux!
I did like the Altos boxes though, I had a lot of fun with those. Mostly my
background was as a hardware engineer getting stuff fixed when they broke,
so over the years I've worked on just about everything from single chip
micros to multi user minis covering unix varieties, Microsoft, cpm, mpm,
pick, and lots of now long dead O/S.
To be honest the Raq is probably one of the most interesting things I've
gotten into for a while now, I've explored PCs to the point where they are
just boring!

128Mb on a TRS80 - you must have upgraded the PSU a bit then!
