I know what you mean -- I had real nightmares about doing cold-starts of
all my systems.

I found a 2MB card on eBay for my DECserver from V.K. Allen in Riverdale
MD.  His eBay seller-id is "surplusplus".  I won it for only $9.99 ($23
with tax, shipping & handling, etc.).

He may have more such things, though I don't see anything like that
listed at his eBay store:  http://www.ebaystores.com/surplusplus/

I thought he had another web site for his surplus store, but I can't
find it at the moment.
