SW architects was Tom Bishop, whom I'm still in contact (he's in the Austin
these days). Those folk did a nice job. FWIW: When the 4000 project was
canceled in Indiana Hill, Tom joined us @ LCC to work on TNC.
This is of course extremeley relevant to my interests as well. Since
I've gotten the 3B2/400 emulator pretty much finished up (MAU, NI, CTC,
and PORTS are all working now), I'm turning my attention to trying to
emulate other 3B2 models, starting with the /600 and /1000 WE32200
systems.
The 3B4000 is an entirely different beast, of course, but I've seen
precious little documentation about it. I'd love to hear more from Tom
Bishop's history at Indian Hill, if he's willing to share!
