[rescue] Axil320?

[William Barnett-Lewis]

The number on the mbus socket matches the 142mhz-1mb line in the
"rough guide" so that made me decide to go for it.  The price was low
enough compared to other ones out there right now that the risk seems
reasonable. My primary use will be to set up simple stuff (Word
Perfect, Lotus 123) but with the real work being to get back into some
LISP coding. CMUCL 17 for sure and seeing if I can get the open source
version of Medley Interlisp to build. THAT will put the cache to the
test.
