I can also host a list at 3b2archive.org along with a Wordpress CMS and
git or svn repo. However I'm wondering if a Google Group or any other
platform tied to a source control system would be better. 

Also, Seth, did you get dumps of the NI card ROMs? If not, can anyone
who has an NI card please dump the ROMs. 

Thanks!
