Q&A:  Alex and Jim Tyree:

Q: If PRSCH has multiple system disks, which one would you like the BusTech
   software installed on?
A: System disk for 4.0

Q: When can the machine be made available?
A: If possible, please do backup after hours.
   For Bustech and board hardware, time is TBD

Q: Do you have a backup, in case we destroy something during the installation?
A: Please do a backup before installation (if a current backup is not available)

Q: The currently available BusTech code comes in version with or withOUT  a
   CTF trace capability.  Does CTF work on the target system? (I heard that
   there were some problems with some versions of 4.0X).  Do you want the
   version with/without CTF trace capability?
A: (from Jim Tyree): It turns out that the version with CTF trace is not
   currently available.

Q: How many channel addresses (transmission groups) do you need:
	- initially (one, I would guess)?
	- eventually (however many you need to support concurrently I would
		guess)
A: One will be needed initially.  After serveral weeks, up to 256 will be
   required.
