While I don't have an FEH that's quite as "vintage" as James' I do have
the original manuals that came with my 4/370, and what James is the
gospel truth.

If anyone is resurrecting 4/300 series boxen, I'd be happy to help them
(I'd scan it in and make the content available online, but this would
probably attract the wrath of Sun's lawyers!).  There's lots of guru
stuff like the eeprom location and setting for changing the screen size
that may or may not be in the FEH.

cheers,

Rob
