- Q: Where do I find *documentation*? Nothing in hp95dev.zip exists to
- document the system calls described in interfac.h.

- I saw 4M cards at the recent memory card trade show here in Santa Clara.
- I also saw 16M dram cards. Also: a fax modem! Also IBM has an experimental
- ethernet card!

- Other questions:
-
- Q: Anybody else have trouble with DC95? I can get a 19200 baud
- connection to the filer just fine, but DC95 complains that it's
- still waiting for a connection. I notice that the baud rate in
- DCS95 changes to 19200 as soon as I start DC95, so there's definately
- a connection.
