The code for the 630 (a followon to the blit) was GPL2'ed at some point
and I have it, although I don't remember where I got it. I will try to
send it to Warren for addition to the archives.
I used a 5620 for a while, hooked up to a BSD 4.1 Vax. The vax was overloaded
so things were slow, but it was a relatively pleasant environment. The keyboard
was really nice, and there are still people who pine for the 3-button round
Depraz (sp?) mouse... :-)
I wonder if you couldn't find some of these still on eBay or something.

I suspect getting hold of it would be like getting blood from a stone, much like getting
the Research Unix source trees ... but still it would be interesting to look at if at all
possible.
