I have a 2031 I'm happy to use for confirmation testing.  I also have
4040 drives and I think I have an 8050 up in the attic...  it might
even be possible for me to stuff an old set of chips into a 4040 and
turn it back into a 2040 but that won't happen this week.  In fact, I
won't have access to my hardware until Friday at the earliest.

Perfect.

Got it.

Indeed!
