Thanks so much Jerry!  My address is:

Terry Fox, WB4JFI
2436 Vaucluse Rd
Charleston, SC 29414

I may have some other COSMAC parts still around, but I gave my 1802 CPU to 
an AMSAT guy who was doing some development work a long time ago.  I will 
let you know If I get something built and running.  Now, where are my COSMAC 
books???
73, Terry, WB4JFI

It's yours Terry - you were the first.

Send your your address and I'll mail it to you, free of charge.  How
heavy can it be?

Jerry
