I believe Paul Sinasohn and a few others have this - you can get it at LIC Orlando (I'll be picking one up in Oct if S@H doesn't have them by then). You might want to call LIC/O and see how much they want for it and if they'll ship it. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

Anyone have a good suggestion for safely storing several RCXs? I think I have 8 RCXs now - yes, I've lost count...
